Edmond

December 1897, Paris. Edmond Rostand is not yet thirty but already two children and a lot of anxieties. He has not written anything for two years. In desperation, he offers the great Constant Coquelin a new play, a heroic comedy, in verse, for the holidays. Only concern: it is not written yet. Ignoring the whims of actresses, the demands of his Corsican producers, the jealousy of his wife, the stories of his best friend’s heart and the lack of enthusiasm of all those around him, Edmond starts writing this piece which nobody believes. For now, he has only the title: “Cyrano de Bergerac”. French and Russian with English subtitles.

“This ‘Shakespeare in Love’-like take on the story behind the French hit play ‘Cyrano’ is a crowd-pleaser…has a very wide appeal” (Hollywood Reporter)

“The story of Cyrano de Bergerac continues to delight…peppy, funny and marvelously designed…A splendid film” (Screen Daily)
