THRIST

Directed by Park Chan-wook

In Korean and English with English Subtitles

Winner of the 2009 Cannes Film Festival Jury Prize, Thirst is the new outrageously stylish film from the Korean New Wave director Park Chan-wook (Old Boy, Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance, Sympathy for Lady Vengeance). Continuing his explorations of human existence in extreme circumstances, the director spins a tale that he conceived and then developed over several years with co-screenwriter Chung Seo-kyung. A priest becomes a vampire, another man's wife is coveted, a deadly seduction triggers murder.
