Humanist Vampire Seeking Consenting Suicidal Person

Tue 14 Nov 20:45

Sasha (Sara Monpetit) is a young vampire with a serious problem: she’s too sensitive to kill. When her exasperated parents cut off her blood supply, Sasha’s life is in jeopardy. Luckily, she meets Paul (Félix-Antoine Bénard), a lonely teenager with suicidal tendencies who is willing to give his life to save hers.

Based on the title, you’d be forgiven for thinking this to be a much more rowdy comedy than it actually is. Ariane Louis-Seize’s debut feature is in fact a charming, smartly-written coming-of-age vampire movie that explores themes that you don’t often see in horror comedies.
