Bakjwi (Thirst) (2009)

Director:    Park Chan-wook
Writers:     Park Chan-wook, Emile Zola. Seo-Gyeong Jeong
Language: Korean
A priest is stricken with vampirism and is forced to abandon his ascetic ways after a failed medical experiment. He falls in love with his friend's wife.

The film can comfortably belong to many genres- Vampires, Noir, Comedy. I didn't like the first half of the film but the second half makes up for it. The cinematography is excellent as always in a  Park Chan-wook film.

Rating: 3.5/5
