Cyrano, My Love

Cyrano, My Love (Edmond, 2018) is a French period comedy you can watch online on iFILM, written and directed by Alexis Michalik. Paris, December 1897: playwright Edmond Rostand hasn't produced a line in two years, with a wife and two kids to feed.

Desperate, he talks the celebrated actor Constant Coquelin into a brand-new verse play, and Coquelin books the premiere for Christmas. One small problem — all Edmond has is a title: Cyrano de Bergerac. What follows is three weeks of glorious chaos. Diva actresses, meddling producers, a jealous wife, a lovestruck best friend whose love letters Edmond ghostwrites on the spot — and out of the mess come some of the most famous lines in French theatre. Thomas Solivérès plays Rostand, Olivier Gourmet plays Coquelin.

Michalik adapted his own hit stage play, and his love for the theatre shows in every backstage panic and last-second save. Witty and warm, it's a treat for anyone who adores Cyrano or stories about how art actually gets made. Stream Cyrano, My Love (2018) online on iFILM.
