A young priest agrees to scarify himself in the hope to find a remedy for a horrible virus. He survives, but his organism mutates. He needs blood. An irrepressible need. Derived as much from Bram Stocker’s Dracula as Émile Zola’s Thérèse Raquin, Thirst has to radically renew representations of vampires in movies. Both pop, baroque, gore and tragicomic, this unclassifiable movie is screened at GIFF in an updated and revamped version.
