A Complete History of My Sexual Failures

2008 · 90 min

A cringe-inducing, funny, and oddly tender ride through one man's romantic disasters, like watching a car crash you can't look away from.

Directed by
Chris Waitt
Genres
Documentary, Romance
Overview
The egocentric documentary-maker Chris Waitt traces his romantic ineptitude and sexual impotence through awkward interviews with irate ex-girlfriends and stunts involving S&M parlours, Harley Street doctors and Viagra overdoses. The results are often hilarious, sometimes moving and speak directly to the hapless paramour in all of us.
How it feels
Absurd, satirical, melancholic and earnest. Brisk and easy to follow.
About
Love, identity, obsession, loneliness
Content
Strong sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
Note
