Synopsis
Autobiographical filmmaker Caveh Zahedi has made a cult career of his unabashed willingness to be vulnerable on camera. I Am a Sex Addict, a comic reconstruction of his ten-year struggle with sex addiction, is one of his most ambitious, hilarious confessions yet.
Just moments before his third wedding, Zahedi relates with utter sincerity and astonishing candor his obsession with prostitutes. He retraces his romantic and sexual history, including his ideological commitment to open relationships, that led to two disastrous marriages and several very pissed off ex-girlfriends.
Featuring animation by Bob Sabiston (Waking Life), and a rare dramatic performance by legendary French porn star Rebecca Lord, I Am a Sex Addict is Zahedi’s unique brand of comedy at its confessional best.

All the confessional awkward comedy left out of Shame. The warm human heart that fears rejection, craves honesty, and constantly trips over itself searching for release. Quite a pre-wedding speech to boot. Watch it with someone your sleeping with.

If this had been another director then the subject matter could have been turned into some lame comedy, but Zahedi's brilliant narration and direction makes it a compelling autobiographical tale with some perfectly judged comedic elements.
