I want to see this movie! Thirst is the new film from director Park Chan-wook (Old Boy, Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance, Sympathy for Lady Vengeance).<\/strong> Already a boxoffice smash in Korea, Thirst <\/strong>was honored with the Prix du Jury [Jury Prize]<\/strong> at the 2009 Cannes International Film Festival.
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sang-hyun (Song Kang-ho)<\/strong> is a priest who cherishes life; so much so, that he selflessly volunteers for a secret vaccine development project meant to eradicate a deadly virus. But the virus takes the priest, and a blood transfusion is urgently ordered up for him. The blood he receives is infected, so Sang-hyun lives – but now exists as a vampire. Struggling with his newfound carnal desire for blood, Sang-hyun’s faith is further strained when a childhood friend’s wife, Tae-ju (Kim Ok-vin)<\/strong>, comes to him asking for his help in escaping her life. Sang-hyun soon plunges into a world of sensual pleasures, finding himself on intimate terms with the Seven Deadly Sins. <\/p>\n
