Review of Cyrano (2021) by Lisalr1 — 25 Jan 2022
Golden Globe and Emmy Award-winner Peter Dinklage (Game of Thrones) is beguiling as the romantic lead in Cyrano, directed by Joe Wright (Darkest Hour, Atonement), based on the original 1897 play, Cyrano de Bergerac by Edmond Rostand, with screenplay for the film by Erica Schmidt.
The movie follows the classic story, tragic love triangle between the poet, Cyrano (Dinklage), his best friend, soldier Christian (Kelvin Harrison Jr.) and their mutual lady love, Roxanne (Haley Bennett).
The film is retold in the form of a lovely musical with soundtrack by Aaron and Bryce Dessner. Features breathtaking cinematography by Seamus McGarvey (Atonement), with gorgeous mid 18th Century costume design by Massimo Cantini Parrini.
Well acted by cast, emphasis on Peter Dinklage, and the movie fulfills with its sense of romance, adventure and intrigue.
