Cyrano – From what I understand, this was first a musical written by Erica Schmidt in 2018, and was staged with Peter Dinklage and Haley Bennett playing the lead roles – Schmidt is Dinklage’s wife. Naturally, it was based on the 1897 dramatic play of Edmund Rostand, and it’s a treatise on unrequited love that we’ve seen played out in many permutations throughout its history.
The nagging question for me though is whether it works as well as it should have. Are the action sequences that involve Dinklage convincing? Up to the point when he’s seen as the playwright and resident poet of the theater in the town they live in, all seems fine, and much is made of his military exploits. But as we’re asked to witness these exploits, and his prowess with blades, it might seem like we’re stretching credulity.
Deep Water – Based on a novel by Patricia Highsmith , and directed by Adrian Lyne , and you’d have high hopes for this domestic drama that stars Ben Affleck and Ana de Armas. But the Highsmith story is transplanted to Louisiana USA, and let’s not forget that Lyne is pushing it in terms of age now. So I don’t know what kind of control he had on the acting; but this is more like another example of Affleck sleepwalking through a film, and letting his clenched jaw do all the acting.
The film deals with promiscuity of a trophy wife, and the seeming indifference the rich husband displays towards her behavior. The nagging questions being left in our minds is whether it’s some strange game the two are actually playing by design, whether she’s really that promiscuous, and whether his seeming indifference is real.
