The stars reprise their stage roles as Cyrano de Bergerac and his beloved Roxanne in director Joe Wright's musical spectacle, also starring Kelvin Harrison Jr.
It should also be noted that the character of Cyrano is one of the most enduring in all of world drama, and cinematic adaptations have been prominent as well. Jose Ferrer won an Oscar for playing the part in 1950. Gerard Depardieu starred in a celebrated French version in 1990, and Jean-Paul Belmondo, who died this week, starred in a French TV film of the play.
The basic story hasn’t changed here. Cyrano is a wit and a master swordsman harboring unspoken and unrequited love for his childhood friend Roxanne. When Christian, a handsome soldier, joins the regiment, he and Roxanne fall in love, but Christian needs Cyrano’s help to craft the stirring romantic missives that Roxanne craves. When the two men are forced to go into battle, the story moves toward its tragic conclusion..
