From Tanya Wexler the movie “Hysteria” reveals the unknown settings of women’s pleasures, in Victorian London full of high classes ready to disappear because of the coming out of suffragettes and females’ rights.

Maggie Gyllenhaall, Rupert Everett, Jonathan Price and an extaordinary performance by Hugh Dancy in the real story of Doctor Mortimer Granville who in 1881 invented the vibrator, indeed used by doctors to defeat women’s hysteria and depression.
A romantic movie on technology, rights, women and pleasures, soft and funny which will be a success on cinemas all around the world.
