MVFF44 Opening Night: Cyrano

The 44th Mill Valley Film Festival will kick off with love, romance, and the California Premiere of Cyrano, with award-winning director Joe Wright in the house!

BAFTA Award-winning director Joe Wright, who will be attending the MVFF Opening Night festivities, envelops moviegoers in a symphony of emotions with music, romance, and beauty in Cyrano, re-imagining the timeless tale of a heartbreaking love triangle.

A man ahead of his time, Cyrano de Bergerac (a glorious performance by Peter Dinklage) dazzles whether with ferocious wordplay at a verbal joust or with brilliant swordplay in a duel. But, convinced that his appearance renders him unworthy of the love of a devoted friend, the luminous Roxanne (Haley Bennett), Cyrano has yet to declare his feelings for her—and Roxanne has fallen in love, at first sight, with Christian (Kelvin Harrison, Jr.).
