Overview
A man ahead of his time, Cyrano de Bergerac 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, Cyrano has yet to declare his feelings for her—and Roxanne has fallen in love, at first sight, with Christian.

Leans Progressive
Primary
The film's central themes of unrequited love, self-doubt, and the power of words are fundamentally apolitical, focusing on universal human experiences rather than promoting a specific ideological viewpoint or critiquing societal structures from a political lens.
The movie demonstrates significant diversity through the explicit casting of a minority actor in the lead role, which reinterprets a traditionally non-disabled character. However, the narrative maintains a traditional romantic focus and does not explicitly critique traditional identities.
Secondary
Christian de Neuvillette, a character canonically depicted as white in the original French play "Cyrano de Bergerac," is portrayed by a Black actor in this film adaptation.
The film 'Cyrano' does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes within its narrative. The story focuses on a heterosexual love triangle, and all primary character arcs and relationships are depicted as such, resulting in no direct portrayal of queer identity or experiences.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The 2021 film "Cyrano" is an adaptation of the classic play "Cyrano de Bergerac." All major characters retain their established genders from the original source material, with no instances of a character canonically established as one gender being portrayed as another.
