Thirst trailer

A beloved and devoted priest (Song Kang-ho) from a small town volunteers for a medical experiment which fails and turns him into a vampire. Physical and psychological changes lead to his affair with a wife of his childhood friend who is repressed and tired of her mundane life. The one-time priest falls deeper in despair and depravity. As things turns for worse, he struggles to maintain what's left of his humanity.

Thirst is directed by South Korean filmmaker Park Chan-wook, of Joint Security Area, Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance, Oldboy, Sympathy for Lady Vengeance, and I'm a Cyborg, But That's OK previously. The screenplay was co-written by Park Chan-wook and his writing partner Jeong Seo-Gyeong. This first hit theaters in Korea back in April. Focus Features will debut Thirst in limited release starting on July 31st.

I love Park Chan-wook's JSA which was one of the best shows I've ever watched. Absolutely touching show about a country torn apart. Lee Byung-Hun (who was excellent in the show and is unfortunately starring as Storm Shadow in Stephen Sommers' 'G.I. Joe: Rise Of Cobra') and Song Kang-ho were in it. Song kicked major ass in the monster flick 'The Host'. If you haven't watched it before, you owe it to yourself to see it.
