If all were well and good with the universe, this would be a review of the new Chanwook Park movie, "Bakjui", or "Thirst". It's about sexy vampires and Africa and infidelity, I think.
See, the Seoul Metropolitan Government announced last month plans to release some Korean films with English subtitles the same week that they are released to the public in general here. This was meant to give Korean films a little time in the limelight, to show how great Korean cultural things can be, etc. etc.
Of course, less than a month after this wonderful new program was announced (with 'Bakjui' in its lineup), they've already pooched it, and in regards to the one film I'd like to see, no less. 'Bakjui' made it to Cannes, I think, and instead of showing it with subs, they have "My Girlfriend is an Agent"? Which they've had for the past 3 weeks? Also, it looks kinda dumb?
I'd really like to give this nice bit of Korea a chance, considering I'm rapidly becoming one of those passively grumbly foreigners, but my money will go to 'Star Trek' this weekend instead.
Sucks! (your blood, that is. olollolololol)
