Résumés(1)
Décembre 1897, Paris. Edmond Rostand n'a pas encore trente ans mais déjà deux enfants et beaucoup d'angoisses. Il n'a rien écrit depuis deux ans. En désespoir de cause, il propose au grand Constant Coquelin une pièce nouvelle, une comédie héroïque, en vers, pour les fêtes. Seul souci : elle n'est pas encore écrite. Faisant fi des caprices des actrices, des exigences de ses producteurs corses, de la jalousie de sa femme, des histoires de coeur de son meilleur ami et du manque d'enthousiasme de l'ensemble de son entourage, Edmond se met à écrire cette pièce à laquelle personne ne croit. Pour l'instant, il n'a que le titre : " Cyrano de Bergerac ". (Gaumont)

Anyone who loves movies and their stories is likely familiar with Cyrano de Bergerac. But how did such a story come to be? This film tells that tale. It’s charming, subtly humorous, historically accurate, but also a bit bland and slightly dull. This is a shame given the intriguing subject matter. The standout is definitely the café owner, Honoré, who is the best-written character in the film.

In the Czech Republic, virtually unknown actor Alexis Michalik got a taste of the comfortable director's chair, which gave birth to a pleasant, sparkling comedy, the ones the film powerhouse that is France has been producing for the past two decades. Cyrano, My Love is not just a funny plaything about the origin of one of the most famous plays, Cyrano de Bergerac," as it is primarily a film about the Belle Epoque era, the "beautiful times" of the Third Republic framed by the years 1890 to 1914 when France experienced a period of prosperity and military power and became a world center of art and fashion. It gave birth to a specific French art of living and enjoying life, which resonates in the film. Although the film does not feature the most famous stars of French cinema, it would be unfair to label the participants second-rate. If you were to compare Cyrano, My Love to Shakespeare in Love, there is a thematic similarity, but I never managed to make it to the end of that one despite repeated attempts, whereas Cyrano, My Love perfectly suited my mood. Overall impression: 80%.

It just suddenly happened, a miracle: at last I feel the urge to watch Edmond Rostand's rhyming romantic drama, Cyrano of Bergerac. Michalik's film, which tells the comic and dramatic story concerning the birth and premiere of this great play, so enchanted me that I'll have to look for an older treatment of the Cyrano story.
