Besser of The National
Director Joe Wright re-imagines Rostand's timeless love story in a sublime symphony of music, poetry and romance. Whether dazzling the crowds with his peerless wit or thrilling them with his courageous swordplay in a dual, Cyrano (Peter Dinklage) is a proud officer of the revered King's Guard, a romantic poet, and secretly in love with his luminous friend Roxanne (Haley Bennett). Convinced his appearance renders him unworthy of her love, when Roxanne falls in love at first sight with handsome new recruit Christian (Kelvin Harrison, Jr.), Cyrano devises a way to convey his feelings through Christian's hand to Roxanne's heart, creating a delicate love triangle that must reveal its secrets before the onset of war.
