The 2009 South Korean film is directed by Park Chan-wook (Oldboy, Stoker). He penned the script with his Lady Vengeance co-writer, Chung Seo-kyung, loosely based on the 1868 novel Thérèse Raquin by Émile Zola.
Song Kang-ho, Kim Ok-bin, Kim Hae-sook, Shin Ha-kyun, Park In-hwan, Song Young-chang, and Oh Dal-su star in the vampire tale.
The Mueller investigation, as a media story and a conversation topic, has been irresistible largely because it promised a way to avoid thinking of Trump as an American development. The Russian-collusion story dangled the carrot of discovering that Trump was entirely foreign to U.S. politics, a puppet of a hostile power. It also held the appeal of a secret answer to our catastrophe, one that would make the unimaginable suddenly explicable.
