Park Chan-Wook’s newest film, THIRST is starting to get some really rave reviews.  Unfortunately we haven’t yet had the chance to sit down to screen this, but if it’s anything like his Vengenance Trilogy then it’s sure to be a fantastic cinematic experience.

A priest becomes a vampire…another man’s wife is coveted…a deadly seduction triggers murder. Thirst is the new film from director Park Chan-wook (Old Boy, Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance, Sympathy for Lady Vengeance). Already a boxoffice smash in Korea, Thirst was honored with the Prix du Jury [Jury Prize] at the 2009 Cannes International Film Festival.

Continuing his explorations of human existence in extreme circumstances, the director spins a tale that he conceived and then developed over several years with co-screenwriter Chung Seo-kyung.

We’ve just been sent a new clip from the film, along with the opening day schedule.  Here, our priest has been led into temptation, but perhaps not quite delivered from evil.  Check it out below and be sure to leave your comments.
