What to Watch: A gay cop defunded, queer French comedy and Peter Dinklage sings
Whatever your entertainment needs, we got your back (and hopefully your mind) with Queerty’s weekly “Culture Club” column with some of the highlights of new releases, streaming shows, classics worth revisiting, and what to drink while you watch.We caught this unexpectedly awesome musical late last year as it screened for awards consideration.
Now the general public can get in on the fun. Cyrano reimagines Edmond Rostand’s play Cyrano de Bergerac with a contemporary twist.
Instead of sporting an enormous nose, the title character is played by Peter Dinklage, who brings his characteristic gravitas and—big surprise—strong baritone vocals to the lead.
The rest of the story framework remains more or less the same: Cyrano falls hard for the beautiful Roxanne (Haley Bennett), but because of his diminutive size, can’t quite bring himself to romance her.
