Review of A Complete History of My Sexual Failures (2008) by James R — 04 Nov 2008

Preposterously hilarious, and often too candid... chris wiatt's stoner-glare mopefest is among the most entertaining documentaries i've ever seen. of course he's a schlub, and of course that's why we immediately like him - but there's a reason all these girls left him.

it's apparent. it seems he realizes it but still has a job to do about halfway through the film; and that's where he found something else. when running around busy london city streets, drunk off his face, on eight viagra, chris is begging every woman in sight to fuck him.

and after he's detained by the cops, that old sad bastard music kicks in, and we see him marched to the car past advertisements of beautiful models, as the normal joes all look on, women in disgust, and other men raise their fists at the freak at his lowest literally begging for recognition.

.. maybe I sympathise too much, because i, well, can. but I felt there was something awesome about this whole thing. did he learn anything at the end when things worked out to his advantage? I dont think so.

did we as an audience? I hope so. wicked doc.
