A Sexual Narcissist Tells All
Although a dark comedy with a serious lean toward sexual narcissism, this film’s quirks will appeal to those who don’t mind exploring those dark corners of one’s desires and laughing at their own inadequacies.

Caveh Zahedi is the screenwriter, director, star, and historian regarding his personal battles with sex addiction.

The most entertaining aspects of the film are that it is shot rather unconventionally. Although the film starts with Zahedi talking to the camera, waiting to be married for the third time, the scenes zip back and forth between Zahedi the narrator, Zahedi the actor, and Zahedi the narrator during acting (he’ll occasionally stare at the camera and make a rather pithy comment while acting within the framework of the film). Part documentary, part fictional take on his experiences, the film delves deep into sexual promiscuity. Bit by bit we get to watch Zahedi fall into a pit of self-gratification with little or no concern for his girlfriends or wives. That he tries to be “honest” and “open” only shows his continued deep slide into the addictive process. When the women in his life fight with him, he’s at a loss to understand why (“But you said I could have sex with a prostitute!”) The comedy is all based around Zahedi’s lack of self-control and his relationships based solely on sexual need. Watching him receive oral sex — his facial expressions and loss of auditory control — are absolutely hilarious; not to mention his fifteen second rise to orgasm.

The film is edited extremely well, mostly taking place in San Francisco, but also in Paris and a few other locations. The map animation sequences are very nicely done as are a few other animations related to travel and Zahedi’s history.

The fact that I AM A SEX ADDICT won the Gotham Award in 2005 for Best Film Not Playing at a Theater Near You should be a useful gauge for those considering this movie as a rental or purchase.

Very true to life
I happened to be fortunate enough to view this film in an actual theater, one of the few venues that was showing it nationally…but you’ll probably see it appearing on IFC soon enough.

I went in expecting “I Am a Sex Addict” to be a comedic documentary about relationships, along the lines of Myles Berkowitz’s “20 Dates” (1998), but was pleasantly surprised to see that Zahedi made a more serious film.

This is a gut-wrenchingly honest, self-effacing, and at times very funny, film about the nature of addiction and the seed that drives it: in this case, Zahedi’s apparent fear of commitment.

He does an admirable job tracing the history of his addiction to having sex with prostitutes, and then talking about the nature of addiction in general. Where I think the film fails just slightly is in his explanation of how in fact he got over his addiction…while he does provide one (using an apt metaphor from Greek mythology), but it feels a bit clipped compared to the pacing of the rest of the film. The details of his “recovery” are not given the same attention.

The film’s editing is diverse, integral to the storyline, and done with great care, and the animation sequences that are interspersed within the film are also excellent…they are reminiscent of Linklater’s film “Waking Life” (2001).

Though it’s been a while since I saw it, I think Ross McElwee’s “Sherman’s March” (1986) would make for a good companion piece with “I Am a Sex Addict” – both are autobiographical pieces that deal with the nature of premarital relationships and the author’s neuroses to be found therein.
