choreography on film #6

last night i watched Park Chan-Wook’s genre-bending masterpiece – Thirst.

its basically a horror movie, but avoids all the standard horror movie cliches and conventions, replacing them with beautiful photography, subtle comedy, ambiguous narrative and gorgeous music.

this is my favourite scene where the priest has just discovered his vampirical immortality, and then spots his childhood sweetheart on one of her nocturnal barefoot runs.
