Robert Naylor - Une véritable découverte Nouvelles Cinéma Canoë

A very talented actor...Robert Naylor is the son of my niece, Maryse.
Was very fortunate to be invited to the Opening Night of the 39th edition of the Montreal Festival du Nouveau Cinema where Robert's movie, 10 1/2 opened the Festival. 10 1/2 is the story of Tommy, a boy whose parents abandoned him.
My review of the actor, Robert Naylor: Absolutely impressed -- well, to be truthful, amazed with Robert's acting abilities. The life of "Tommy" is the extreme opposite of Robert's life.
When this movie was made, Robert was 12 years old (he's 14 now). The life of "Tommy" is horrific. How a 12 year-old boy who never experienced any of the things that scar Tommy can bring a child like Tommy to life on the silver screen is fascinating.
First scene with Robert: I see Robert on screen, but then, Poof! In a heartbeat Tommy emerged, taking over Robert's body and person! Looked just like Robert but it was Tommy! How Robert can do that, well, I don't know.
Robert is flawlessly fluent in English and French. This movie is in French, with English sub-titles.
