My Year Without Sex

Sarah Watt, Director

2009 | 96 | Feature

Australian filmmaker Sarah Watt (LOOK BOTH WAYS) presents a sharp and witty metaphysical film about a working-class family whose life is upended when the mother is diagnosed with an aneurysm and told to avoid all stress - including sex. For Natalie (Sacha Horler) and her husband (Matt Day), relinquishing connubial obligations are only a tiny piece of a challenging year, with job prospects, mortgage obligations, vet bills, nits and questions of faith competing for attention. �A gem of a film � wonderfully observed� - Urban Cinefile.
