The critic Jacques Mandelbaum wrote that Mundruczó?s new film shows a ?breathtakingly beautiful dark light?.
The story takes place in a once sumptuous but now dilapidated home in Budapest, where a filmmaker ? played by Mundruczó himself ? is casting for a new production. A murderer enters the story as the line between fiction and documentary is blurred.
?Purged of explanatory dialogue and narrative sequences?the film offers the viewer the change to be led by something other than intellect,? Mandelbaum wrote.
Tender Son ? The Frankenstein Project is Mundruczó?s second film after Delta to show in competition at Cannes.
He is not the only Hungarian to make a mark in Cannes this year. Compatriot Ágnes Kocsis won the FIPRESCI prize in the Un Certain Regard category for her film Adrienn Pal on Saturday.
