The firmly established and triumphant proven necessity of Ventnor Library holds within its vast and transient vaults, literature and DVD gateways into all manner of knowledge and learning.
Documentaries that share honesty and knowledge gained from an English perspective are rare indeed, but the incredible talent of director and film-maker Chris Waitt reveals an immense inner strength that as an idea for his own personal project is not only extremely brave, but quite possibly the funniest documentary ever made.
Hilariously embarrassing
The premise for ‘A Complete History of My Sexual Failures’ is quite simple, the director has the technology and talent as a film-maker but has reached a point of being alone and single and has constantly over the years been dumped by so many girlfriends that he cannot exactly grasp why?
Chris Waitt’s appearance throughout the documentary is often sighted as being one of the many reasons by his mother and ex-girlfriend’s as to why he cannot keep a relationship functioning.
Lack of self-awareness?
However, the documentary reveals throughout, with hilarious, sad and at times totally misjudged attempts by Chris Waitt and his trusted camera-operator to interview ex-girlfriends that he genuinely is such an honest person, that he does not always understand what sort of man he actually is.
As ‘A Complete History of My Sexual Failures’ unfolds, an impressive amount is learnt and revealed about sex, relationships and practically women that quite obviously has never been filmed before, causing the project and Chris Waitt’s approach to be not only extremely unique but surprisingly original.
The quiet unnerving force of immense bravery that is revealed gradually throughout Chris Waitt’s project has such a beautiful twist of optimism that is quite truly magnanimous. It is mightily and heartily recommended.
