Cyrano

[Opens Feb. 25 in theaters.] Amazing cinematography, costumes, and sets dominate Joe Wright's captivating, touching, entertaining, well-acted, 123-minute musical based on Edmond Rostand's 1897 play in which silver-tongued, sword-wielding, short-of-stature, poetic orator Cyrano de Bergerac (Peter Dinklage) is head-over-heels in love with his beautiful, longtime friend and confidant (Haley Bennett), who lives with a smitten French count (Ben Mendelsohn) and aided by her maid (Monica Dolan), in the 1640s in Paris but feels he is unworthy of her love and then finds himself writing anonymous, witty, poetic letters for a mysterious, charming, handsome, but tongued-tied guard (Kelvin Harrison, Jr.) she fell in love with at first sight.
