Imagine you\u2019re an enthusiastic 20-something playwright in turn-of-the-century Paris, but the only play you\u2019ve ever written was a major dud. Then imagine that, thanks to your old pal Sarah Bernhardt, the most illustrious actor of the day suddenly commissions you to write his next opus. The only problem is you\u2019re totally out of story ideas… and rehearsals begin tomorrow! That playwright\u2019s name is Edmond Rostand and his \u201cnew\u201d work-in-progress is entitled Cyrano de Bergerac<\/em>. Alexis Michalik<\/strong>\u2019s spirited film, based on his hit play, is a pure delight from beginning to end \u2014 a delicious romp, brimming with as much comic farce as sly intrigue. It mixes historical fact with a heavy dose of fiction. At its heart, it\u2019s a love letter to the theater and the creative process, painting a gleeful behind-the-scenes portrait of the mind-boggling game-of-chance juggling act every artist confronts as he or she sits facing that terrifyingly blank page. But, this time, Edmond produces a masterpiece. In rhyming couplets and Alexandrine verse, to boot! Olivier Gourmet is brilliant as the over-the-top, scenery-chewing thespian who has the honor of bringing Cyrano to life for the very first time.<\/p>\n

Writer\/director\/actor Alexis Michalik<\/strong>\u2019s roots are firmly planted in the theater. He\u2019s adapted Shakespeare\u2019s Romeo and Juliet <\/em>into an original drama, R&J<\/em>; written and directed numerous plays; and has appeared in countless theatrical productions and more than fifty films and TV series, including Antonin Baudry\u2019s The Wolf\u2019s Call<\/em>, Andrea Bescond\u2019s and Eric M\u00e9tayer\u2019s Little Tickles <\/em>(COLCOA 2019), and the popular Canal+ series Kaboul Kitchen<\/em>. His 2016 play Edmond<\/em>, from which this film is adapted, was a smash hit in Paris, was and nominated for seven prestigious Moli\u00e8re Awards. He has written and directed three short films, including Grounded<\/em>, the first short to win both the Jury Award and the Audience Award at COLCOA, in 2015. His first feature, Cyrano My Love<\/em><\/strong>, is presented as an official U.S. premiere at COLCOA, prior to its national release by Roadside Attractions.<\/p>\n
