MELBOURNE, Wednesday, 2 September 2009 – Madman proudly presents the hilarious, celebratory new Australian box office success, MY YEAR WITHOUT SEX – Available on DVD October 14, 2009, $34.95srp.

Starring multiple AFI award winner Sacha Horler (PRAISE, LOVE MY WAY) and Matt Day (MURIEL’S WEDDING), and directed by internationally acclaimed filmmaker Sarah Watt (LOOK BOTH WAYS), MY YEAR WITHOUT SEX is a triumphant comedy about the everyday minutiae of Australian life. It’s kind of 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 the mounting issue of whether they will ever manage to have sex again.

Another critical and commercial success in this resurgent year for Australian film, MY YEAR WITHOUT SEX is the second highest grossing Australian film of 2009. Having takrn over $1 million at the Australian box office – and considering LOOK BOTH WAYS multiple 2005 AFI wins – MY YEAR WITHOUT SEX is an obvious contender for a raft of AFI Award nominations this year.

MY YEAR WITHOUT SEX is just one of the DVD release highlights in Madman’s 2009 Iconic Australian Films campaign, which will also include several other remarkable 2009 releases in WAKE IN FRIGHT, LAST RIDE, SAMSON & DELILAH and BALIBO.
