The film 'Humanist Vampire Seeking Consenting Suicidal Person' (original French title: 'Vampire humaniste cherche suicidaire consentant') is now available on the streaming platform I Wonderfull, starting February 4, 2025. Directed by Ariane Louis-Seize, the film won the award at the Giornate degli Autori 2023 (Venice Days) for its strong directorial vision and coherent style across editing, cinematography, acting, and art direction. The jury praised its courageous yet lighthearted treatment of themes such as depression, mental health, euthanasia, and neurodiversity, noting its ability to reach a broad audience through tenderness and emotional engagement. The story follows Sasha (Sara Montpetit), a young vampire too sensitive to kill, whose family cuts off her blood supply. She meets Paul (Félix-Antoine Bénard), a lonely teenager with suicidal tendencies, and they embark on a nocturnal journey to fulfill his last wishes. Louis-Seize cited German Expressionism, vampire films, and late-1990s/early-2000s teen movies as influences, creating a nostalgic and melancholic visual universe. The film is described as a teen movie and coming-of-age romantic comedy that balances black humor with tenderness, exploring themes of sensitivity, diversity, desire, risk, and the weight of life, while avoiding provocation or transgression.
