Humanist Vampire Seeking Consenting Suicidal Person

[3] It stars Sara Montpetit as Sasha, a teenage vampire who befriends Paul (Félix-Antoine Bénard), a boy with suicidal tendencies.

In a panic, she runs back home where her parents have decided that she will live with her older cousin, Denise, to learn how to hunt people.

Sasha is reluctant to learn and attracts attention as Denise feeds on JP, a man they had lured earlier, before running off.

Some time later, Sasha and Paul arrive at a hospice his mother is working at, where they are directed to a terminally ill patient's room.

[4] Humanist Vampire Seeking Consenting Suicidal Person premiered at the 80th Venice International Film Festival on September 3, 2023.

The website's consensus reads: "While not as innovative as its title, Humanist Vampire Seeking Consenting Suicidal Person offers a dark-ish comedic take on a teen love story between misfits that renders a strangely sweet bite.

"[11] Nikki Baughan of Screen Daily wrote that "Louis-Seize leans heavily into European arthouse influences for her French-language production.

Sasha—who is, in fact 68 (although still a teenager in human years)—is presented as something of an ingenue, her long dark hair, blunt fringe and doe eyes giving her both a vulnerability and an intriguing edge.
