New ‘Thirst’ Film Clip — ‘I’m Not Catholic’

On July 16th, 2009

 

Focus Features premiered a clever and deep film clip from the upcoming film, Thirst, directed by award-winning auteur, Park Chan-wook (Oldboy, Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance).

Song Kang-ho (The Host) plays Sang-hyun 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), 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.

    Thanks for the Thirst Clip. We did a interview with Park Chan-wook on this and on the issue of the vampire film which you might find interesting.
