Thirst

Thirst (2009)
Seen on the 28th August 2010 (133 min)

The most serious of the three films seen on the same day but not the most enjoyable. This is the story of a priest turned vampire in Korea. It deals with topics of good and evil, of double standards but overall with sensuality and the fight agains irrepresible desires. This is, visually, a very attractive film full of colour (red and blue are highlighted). There are very intense and sexual (although not explicit) moments in which the viewer is taken into the world of vampires. An extraordinary film.
