A COMPLETE HISTORY OF MY SEXUAL FAILURES


Country: UK
Language: English
Duration: 90 minutes
Distributor: Madman Australia
Director: Chris Waitt
Genre: Drama

Independent filmmaker Chris Waitt has a bad dating history. He’s heading towards 30 and still single so he decides to find out what went wrong.

In this revealing and cringingly frank documentary, Waitt attempts to interview all his ex-girlfriends to find out why they dumped him and, even more humiliating, the source of his erectile dysfunction.

With raw authenticity from the women in his life, a fantastic turn from Waitt’s long-suffering mother and some hilarious episodes on the nature of dating, this gonzo-style piece of filmmaking is a bona-fide sexual and emotional odyssey.

What the Critics say!

“The film’s scrapbook style and the immediacy of the hand-held camera work belie a sophisticated piece of documentary-making”
Emma Slawinski – Eye For Film

“…thoroughly entertaining” Jason Korsner – UK Screen

“…screamingly funny” Dennis Harvey – Variety

NOMINATED: Grand Jury Prize (Documentary), Sundance 2008
