Cannes 2010’s Top 10 New Faces: Introducing Rudolf Frecska

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.
