I was also impressed with his singing ability, as the actor can carry quite a tune and is really terrific in all the musical numbers.
The actor gives an absolutely brilliant performance and is definitely a frontrunner for an Academy Award nomination. He also plays the character like he’s the smartest person in the room, which he usually is, and adds to his elitist attitude. But Cyrano is also kind of a badass in this version, with Dinklage’s character being a master fighter and marksman, and someone others would not want to cross. But Peter Dinklage plays the role beautifully giving his character other reasons for the way he is treated besides his size, such as his attitude and crass demeanor. This works exceedingly well, obviously because of the actor playing the role, but also because the old concept for making Cyrano an outcast seems so silly now. One of the clever concepts of the film, and the musical that it is based on, is that Cyrano is not an outcast because he has a large nose, but rather because of his size. The film’s opening number, “Someone to Say,” is also a show-stopper and a fun start to the movie. Also, keep an eye in this scene for ‘ Once’ star Glen Hansard who plays one of the soldiers. The music is haunting and the way the sequence is cut together really highlights the significance of the moment. One of the best numbers in the film comes toward the middle of the third act and features Cyrano, Christian and their fellow soldiers signing as they prepare for war. I wouldn’t be surprised if at least one of the songs from the film is nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Song this year. What really stuck with me is how unforgettable the music in the film is, which was composed by members of The National, Aaron and Bryce Dessner. Joe Wright, who is best known for his movies like ‘Atonement’ and ‘The Darkest Hour,’ creates a large and colorful world with beautiful camera movements and an impressive production design. I was pleasantly surprised at what a wonderful, fun and entertaining film this turned out to be. Roxane asks Cyrano to watch over Christian, but when he discovers Cyrano’s true feelings for her, it will threaten both of their lives.įull disclosure, I had no idea this film was a musical when I saw it, I only knew that it was based on the classic literary character. Meanwhile, De Guiche also has his eye on Roxane as well and threatens her new romance when he sends the cadets to the frontlines of the war. Fearing that Roxane could never love him because of his diminutive size, which has made him an outcast, Cyrano reluctantly agrees even though it breaks his heart. Eventually, Christian asks Cyrano for help winning Roxane’s love by writing romantic letters to her on his behalf. Christian has feelings for Roxanne too, but is too shy to talk to her. She asks her Cyrano to introduce her to Christian and he reluctantly agrees. However, Roxane soon meets another cadet named Christian (Harrison Jr.) and falls instantly in love. The play is quickly interrupted by Cyrano de Bergerac (Dinklage), a cadet who is hopelessly in love with Roxane and trying to impress her. Just like the original play, the film is set in 1640 Paris and begins with the introduction of the beautiful Roxane (Bennet), who attends a play with De Guiche (Mendelsohn), an officer in the French Army. Award-winning director Joe Wright envelops moviegoers in a symphony of emotions with music, romance, and beauty in Cyrano, re-imagining the timeless tale of a heartbreaking.
