The Poet who gave his life for the sake of love
Hollywood movie, ‘Cyrano’ a romantic musical directed by Joe Wright based on the 1897 Edmond Rostand play Cyrano de Bergerac is now being screened in Colombo and suburbs.
Starring Peter Dinklage, Haley Bennett, Kelvin Harrison Jr., and Ben Mendelsohn in major roles the film was also adapted from Schmidt’s 2018 stage musical of the same name.
Had its world premiere at the 48th Telluride Film Festival in the United States in September 2021, the film was nominated for several awards, including the Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy and Best Actor in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy (Dinklage) at the 79th Golden Globe Awards, four nominations at the 75th British Academy Film Awards and a Best Costume Design nod at the 94th Academy Awards.
A man ahead of his time, Cyrano de Bergerac dazzles whether with ferocious wordplay at a verbal joust or with brilliant swordplay in a duel. But, convinced that his appearance renders him unworthy of the love of a devoted friend, the luminous Roxanne, Cyrano has yet to declare his feelings for her and Roxanne has fallen in love, at first sight, with Christian.
‘Cyrano’ is now being shown at LSC – Liberty by Scope Cinemas, CCC – Colombo City Center, PVR Colombo 2, KCC – Kandy City Center and Majestic Superior Cinema.
