He was born with a gift of laughter and a sense that the world was mad.
—Raphael Sabatini from Scaramouche.
That quotation is about another heroic character, but it could just as well apply to Edmond Rostand’s hero, Cyrano de Bergerac.
Cyrano is a delightful movie. It stars Peter Dinklage—who I believe gives a brilliant performance—as well as Haley Bennett and Kelvin Harrison Jr.
This 2021 version of Rostand’s Cyrano de Bergerac is a musical romantic drama. I found it delightful, and perhaps you will too.
