Published on | Source
The Park Chan-wook film "Thirst", winner of the Cannes International Film Festival's Jury Prize, has been ranked tenth in Time magazine's Top 10 Movies of 2009 on December 8.
Time named "Thirst" its vampire movie of the year over New Moon. In particular, it had high praise for leading lady Kim Ok-vin, saying "She is Lady Chatterley and Lady Macbeth in one smoldering package".
Time said Kim's performance of the character, "who evolves from a creature of mute docility to one of desperate ardor, then explosive eroticism, then murderous intent", was a new find.
"The Princess and the Frog" topped the list, followed by "Up" in second place. "Fantastic Mr. Fox" took third place, making the top three positions all animated films.
