Park Chan-wook Adapted a 150-Year-Old Novel Into a Vampire Story
Park Chan-wook's Thirst adapts Thérèse Raquin, but turns the classic into a modern vampire story.
One year into the Twilight phenomenon that took the world by storm, South Korean filmmaker Park Chan-wook released his own take on a vampiric romance, Thirst. The film stars Parasite's Song Kang-ho as a priest, Sang-hyun, who becomes a vampire after a medical experiment goes awry. Eventually, he becomes intertwined in a murderous affair with his friend's wife Tae-ju, played by Kim Ok-bin.
