Academy Award nominee for Best Costume Design
Award-winning director Joe Wright (Pride & Prejudice, Atonement, Darkest Hour) envelops moviegoers in a symphony of emotions with music, romance, and beauty in CYRANO, re-imagining the timeless tale of a heartbreaking love triangle. A man ahead of his time, Cyrano de Bergerac (played by Peter Dinklage) 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 (Haley Bennett), Cyrano has yet to declare his feelings for her -- and Roxanne has fallen in love, at first sight, with Christian (Kelvin Harrison, Jr.).
"Almost every shot is framed like a Renaissance painting, and the songs, by members of indie-rock stalwarts the National, have an earnest, orchestral tunefulness." - Entertainment Weekly
"An old-school enchanter with an enormous heart, one that reinforces Dinklage as a dazzling talent that can lead and illuminate any genre." - RogerEbert.com
"Wright - whom I consider one of the medium's most visionary craftsman - has outdone himself in devising original, cinematically innovative ways to stage the film." - Variety
