Thirst, the story of a priest who becomes a vampire following a failed medical experiment, was one of our favourites at this year's Cannes Film Festival.

Read on as we talk about Thirst, his Cannes experience, the state of Korean cinema and Hollywood producers' tendency to remake anything they can get their hands on.
