忠实于17世纪的历史人物传说，将滑稽和优雅、机智对答和某些冒险色彩融为一体。该片的积极一面在于刻画了一位非凡的主人公。西拉诺并非人人喜爱的那种人，但他体现了难以在同一个人物身上找到的许多优点。西拉诺勇敢、诚实、忠诚、**并且机敏。 西拉诺的悲剧就在于他没有意识到，罗克珊爱上了克里斯蒂昂并不是因为他的英俊外貌，而是因为此人借用西拉诺之笔写下的话语使**相信他的心地纯洁。如果西拉诺用这种语言更直接地向罗克珊表达，那么她也许会因同样的理由爱上他，不管他的鼻子长得多么丑。

A raw and transporting new version of the classic tale of unrequited love and ghostwritten letters, Cyrano tells the story of a proud man who, believing himself unlovable, agrees to woo the woman he loves for another. With a charged contemporary immediacy to the language, this adaptation by Erica Schmidt (All the Fine Boys) mines this enduring, human story for its deep vein of heartbroken yearning, with haunting and compelling music by members of the Grammy Award-winning band The National and the Emmy and Golden Globe Award-winning actor Peter Dinklage in the title role.
