Picking a Fight with the Vatican? Park’s “Thirst” Oozes Blood

The Roman Catholic Church has been getting into the film biz again lately, and the Catholic Church may have more on its holy plate then just Ron Howard’s “Angels & Demons.” Korean director Park Chan-Wook’s (“I’m a Cyborg”) latest thriller involves a priest (of the Catholic variety), blood sucking, and even lust. Can the Vatican be that far away?

“In the film you see a cup filled with wine as if it’s blood. This could allude to vampirism or religion, but for me it’s just a joke,” said Park in Cannes Friday. “If the Vatican is as interested in Tom Hanks’ film as mine, I’d be thrilled.” (Hanks stars “Demons,” which comes out today).

Along with a heeping fill of blood sucking (with a bounty of slurping sounds and moans of ecstasy), the film includes a good amount of lust. Sang-hyun (Song Kang-ho) is a beloved small town priest, who devotedly serves at a local hospital. He travels to Africa to volunteer as a test subject in an experiment to find a vaccine to a new deadly virus. During the experiment, he’s infected, but a transfusion of some unidentified blood brings him back to life. The blood has also turned him into a vampire.

“I didn’t find it difficult during the shooting,” said the seductive Kim Ok-vin in Cannes. “There was so much blood in the film, that afterward when I saw blook in movies or whatever, I was happy to see it again.”

Park’s film is a departure from the usual vampire film, void of some of the usual standards used in cinematic history - though perhaps save “Twilight.” “Ten years ago when I first started thinking of this film, I wanted my vampires to be more realistic, as if they were around in everyday life. So I didn’t use the teeth, garlic, haunted castles and crosses. I wanted to get rid of these cliches.”
