<\/h2>\n<\/h2>\n| 2019 \u2013\u00a0 113′\u00a0 – COMEDY 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\u2026 and rehearsals begin tomorrow! That playwright\u2019s name is Edmond Rostand and his \u201cnew\u201d work-in-progress is entitled\u00a0Cyrano de Bergerac.\u00a0Alexis Michalik\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.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" CYRANO MY LOVE | 2019 \u2013\u00a0 113′\u00a0 – COMEDY Written by:\u00a0Alexis Michalik.
