I imagine it may have been easier as a first acting role to remain chilled, and keep a non-expressive, emotionless face throughout, but that would be short-selling and easily dismissing Rudolf Frecska's debut perf -- a role, that certainly alludes to characteristics of the famed Hollywood created monster and which carries a certain physicality to it and that is still an all-encompassing display of doing plenty with a very rigid character. - #6.

I think that several film fests will request Kornel Mundruczó's Tender Son - The Frankenstein Project, and I believe the director will probably use the actor on film once again - before, has since taken over the role of Vor in Sorokin’s The Ice directed by Mundruczó, a National Theatre of Hungary theater production.

Next movie we’re going to talk about is one with title Tender Son – The Frankenstein Project directed by Kornél Mundruczó.
This movie has been added to the main competition selection, which was announced April 15, next to Wang Xiaoshuai and his Chongqing Blues.
So, this year at Cannes Film Festival, very interesting projects, and one of them is definitely this Frankenstein story by young and highly talented Hungarian filmmaker Mundruczó.
What we know about this one? It is the story “of how a 19 year-old (Rudolf Frecska) attending a boarding school moves back to live with his family. His attempts to win the love of his near ones prove more difficult than he thought and it all ends in disaster.”
The whole project is actually based on the novel by Mary Shelley and the play scripted in 2007 by Mundruczó.
The film is something that we could already describe as a re-interpretation...

A discovery I made at Cannes two years back, 2008's Delta's combined sheer beauty and poetic ugliness demonstrating the Hungarian filmmaker's unique voice and Malickian approach. Love the idea of making a teen out to be a classic monster, of course in a nonliteral sense. - #15.

- A figure on the international film circuit but relatively still unknown outside of Europe, Kornél Mundruczó the helmer behind Johanna, Pleasant Days and most recently, the 2008 film Delta (a slow-paced, heavily dependent on natural surroundings pic that reminded me of Terrence Malick's work) is currently in production with, The Frankenstein Plan. The filmmaker choose Mary Shelley's classic and came up with a contemporary narrative - so I'm really not expecting something like what Universal will plan to do with the character sometime in the next decade ahead. 19 year-old-kid Rudolf Frecska takes on the role of the monster - we can see by the pic that the common link are the bandages and what we can tell by the brief synopsis provided by the director that liek the monster, this teen is seeking affection from close ones. This is about a who returns home from a boarding school,
