Winner of the Mammoth Jury Prize in the 2009 Cannes Film Festival and recipient of essential and box-office acclaim in Asia, I jumped at the chance to eye Park Chan Wook’s (Oldboy, Sympathy for Lady Vengeance) “THIRST”. The film is a horror-satirical drama that explores the gloomy bestial side of humanity that is quite bizarre, even creepy on occasion, but never for one exiguous does the film relent in exploring the psyche that comes from alienation and loneliness, while becoming a slave of cherish and lust.

Park Chan-Wook is one clever director in creating a recent buy on the vampire lore that blends the elements of the Seven Deadly Sins; Gluttony, Sloth, Lust, Greed, Pride, Wrath and Envy. The vampirism as seen by Park’s rendition does have similarities to the established myths about vampires; vulnerability to sunlight, superhuman strength and run, with a strong need for human blood–curiously this vampire does not grow fangs. The need for human blood is notable to stave off the virus that somewhat touches on the sin of Gluttony. Lust and Envy is represented through Father Hyun’s desire for Kang-Woo’s (Shin Ha-Kyun) wife. Pride is represented when Hyun allows himself to be seen as a “Saint” at first. Sloth when he gains lesions and when he has to live in a dirty basement. Greed for life as he becomes timid of dying and hungry for companionship. Wrath as Hyun is led to destroy and he is brought face to face with the consequences of his actions. Vampirism becomes seen as the ultimate root of base in the eyes of Father Hyun, but in some ironic manner, it all frees him of his inhibitions.
Song Kang-Ho is one VERY versatile actor. The man has played different roles throughout his career and he is clearly the suitable man for the role of Father Hyun. Hyun becomes a compelling character as we witness him torn between the need to survive while avoiding the need to extinguish. “God feeds even the birds in the sky”, so Hyun resorts to slowly drinking the blood for comatose patients in the hospital (but never killing them) and people who wish to commit suicide. He also tries to overcome his lustful thoughts by hitting his thighs to overcome an erection. Curiously, Hyun becomes more aware of himself when he became a vampire; he realizes exactly who he is as he finds himself leaving the Order. Tae-Ju is one imbalanced woman who is manipulative of any set. She seduces the grand priest and manipulates him into believing that she is an abused wife; she is a woman torn between her reliance on her husband and the need to be free (as symbolized by her constant running at night) . The sex scenes between Kang-Ho and Ok-Vin are quite erotically creepy at times, and very graphic; comparable to some Japanese pink films.
The film’s takes up a darkly satirical tone that becomes weirder and darker as the film progresses, yet, it also becomes funnier, more bizarre and grittier. There is one very bizarre scene when Hyun and Tae-ju is having sex, with a vision of Tae-ju’s tedious husband sandwiched between them to bring the guilt of the murderous deed into exposition. While the first half of the film brings the weaknesses of the flesh with Hyun’s character, the second half progresses in bringing its consequences. Hyun is overly obsessed with sexy Tae-ju as he would do whatever it takes to be with her, even though he is aware that she is somewhat imbalanced, she is all he has and he turns her; remarkable to his regret later. While Hyun would avoid killing a human for his need, Tae-ju becomes drunk with power, as she doesn’t mind killing at all. It is a testament to Park’s skills as director as the position revolves around his characters; that somewhat touches upon clear definitions of being a monster as well as how you wield positive abilities, with the definition of being human coming paunchy circle in the screenplay. I loved the map Father Hyun began to atone for his sins one by one. He also gets rid of his “Saintly” image by letting himself be caught with a woman that led to him becoming scorned.
It is hard for me to obtain flaws in the script, the metaphors and symbols are executed masterfully; even the supporting characters are necessary vehicles in fleshing out the main protagonists. I voice if one wanted to nit-pick, one may say that the paralysis of Tae-ju’s mother-in-law (played by Kim Hae-Sook) felt a itsy-bitsy forced to generate some humor. Also, it can be argued that Tae-ju’s character isn’t as well written as Father Hyun’s. Quiet, these flaws are very minor as Park Chan-Wook successfully brings us to a world elephantine of darkness and very GRIM humor with an atmosphere that resembles a tale and respectable cinematography to match. “Thirst” isn’t a comedy, but it is amusing in a procedure that is both creepy and unlit at the same time. The film also has a obedient section of blood and some gore, and yes, quite a obliging number of nudity and sex. (It is also the first mainstream Korean film that features male chubby frontal nudity)
“Thirst” is ultimately a success. Park Chan Wook was able to approach up with a graceful film that is chunky of elegy, while exploring the flaws of the human mind, that treats vampirism as a cause for the realization of one’s carnal desires in incorporating a Catholic overtone. I really loved the manner in which Park executed this unique vampire film that BOLDLY dares to be different. It is not a dread film per se, but its dismay elements arrive from the Fears of making the contemptible decisions.
Definitely lyrical, darkly satirical, often Ironic and so erotically sexy, yet, so engagingly handsome with compelling characters, Park Chan Wook’s “Thirst” is destined to achieve a sizable cult following.
Highly Recommended! [5 Stars]
See this before Hollywood massacres it with a remake.

I deny if one wanted to nit-pick, one may say that the paralysis of Tae-ju’s mother-in-law (played by Kim Hae-Sook) felt a minute forced to generate some humor. Also, it can be argued that Tae-ju’s character isn’t as well written as Father Hyun’s. Collected, these flaws are very minor as Park Chan-Wook successfully brings us to a world pudgy of darkness and very GRIM humor with an atmosphere that resembles a epic and advantageous cinematography to match. “Thirst” isn’t a comedy, but it is humorous in a plan that is both creepy and murky at the same time. The film also has a well-behaved fragment of blood and some gore, and yes, quite a excellent number of nudity and sex. (It is also the first mainstream Korean film that features male bulky frontal nudity)
“Thirst” is ultimately a success. Park Chan Wook was able to approach up with a heavenly film that is burly of elegy, while exploring the flaws of the human mind, that treats vampirism as a cause for the realization of one’s carnal desires in incorporating a Catholic overtone. I really loved the manner in which Park executed this recent vampire film that BOLDLY dares to be different. It is not a alarm film per se, but its awe elements reach from the Fears of making the substandard decisions.
Definitely lyrical, darkly satirical, often Ironic and so erotically sexy, yet, so engagingly comely with compelling characters, Park Chan Wook’s “Thirst” is destined to finish a gargantuan cult following.
