Too self-conscious to woo Roxanne himself, wordsmith Cyrano de Bergerac helps young Christian nab her heart through love letters.
"'Cyrano de Bergerac' is one of the most classic stories in French theater, with a fictionalized version of the life of the poet, writer, and playwright of the same name. This cinematic version, directed by Joe Wright (of 'Pride & Prejudice'), brings a twist: instead of the protagonist suffering from a large nose, he has dwarfism. Thus, the main character is played by Peter Dinklage ('Game of Thrones'), with 'Cyrano' becoming a fun and colorful musical. The general premise, however, remains the same: the protagonist falls in love with Roxanne, but she, however, is enchanted by another man, Christian. Feeling unworthy of this love, Cyrano then helps the adversary by writing passionate letters - which enchant the beloved. The performances are the highlight, in a cast that also includes Haley Bennett, Kelvin Harrison Jr., and Ben Mendelsohn."
