Humanist Vampire Seeking Consenting Suicidal Person
AroView: A delightfully deadpan French-Canadian comedy about a doleful adolescent vampire who is too compassionate to kill for her special dietary needs, and instead yearns to be a regular mortal goth girl. Ariane Louis-Seize’s coming-of-age romance follows in a long line of vampire parodies but it provides easy surrender to anyone who ever dabbled with black eyeliner.
“What’s special about Humanist is how Louis-Seize maintains an easygoing atmosphere despite the heavy material.” ~Andrew Crump, Paste Magazine
“Plays like a coming-of-age genre mash-up, and features a tortured blood-sucker protagonist reminiscent of Only Lovers Left Alive, A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night or even The Hunger, although it is narratively and stylistically striking enough to make its own impact.” ~Nikki Baughan, Screen Daily
