Thirst: The Park Chan-wook Film You Haven’t Seen
Peter Cameron – Park Chan-wook’s Thirst is a vampire film that doesn’t suck. It doesn’t prey upon cliché. It doesn’t rely on hackneyed tropes. Thirst knows our expectations. And it flirts with them.

VIFF 2024: She Loved Blossoms More
Tim Basaraba – In his second feature-length film, Yannis Veslemes seems to toss Weird Science (1985) and The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (2005) into a cinematic blender, sprinkle in an unnamed powdered substance, and top it off with an appreciation for seven-time Academy Award winner Rick Baker. The result? She Loved Blossoms More.

VIFF Film Review: Black Tea
Tim Basaraba – We have ten films directed by the great Wong Kar-wai, but will we get another? Nothing’s for certain, but I sure hope so. In the meantime, thanks to Optimum Immersion, I’ve found my new Wong Kar-wai—or at least a worthy acolyte of the master—and I have VIFF to thank for this discovery.
