Strand Practices ‘Year Without Sex’

Date:

Looks like it’ll be two for two for Sarah Watts in the U.S. After seeing her debut feature Look Both Ways (a film that dealt with issues of death with spurts of animation and humor) receive a moderate release via the folks at Kino, her sophomore film My Year Without Sex has found a home with the folks from Strand who are currently beefing up their 2010 slate (view here). The pic will receive a Spring release.

The film was presented at TIFF this year and is one among several that drifted to end of the year AFM purchases. Described as a love story about a family dealing with all the big questions and even more of the small ones. Set over one messy year, Ross and Natalie and their two kids, Louis and Ruby, navigate nits, faith, Christmas, job insecurity, footy practice, more nits, and whether they will ever have sex again.

I’m wondering if any of our Aussie readers might have seen the film? If so, let us know whether this is a must see.
