Oldboy VS. Thirst

The two films to me seem very different. They both tell stories of a strange, disturbing experience of isolation. Weird sex and weird violence is obviously one the directors fascinations. Compare, contrast, you get the gist.

The common theme in Park Chan-Wook’s films is man struggling against his impulses. I think Thirst has a more optimistic view of humanity, in this regard.
