Mortimer Granville is a young 19th century London doctor who struggles to find permanent work due to innovations in medicine not being widely accepted. He eventually works with Dr. Robert Dalrymple, providing treatment to women suffering from hysteria. Their collaboration leads to the invention of the vibrator as a medical device. The film explores the development of this invention and the struggles of the main characters, focusing on how hysteria was viewed as a legitimate disease at the time, though it is now known not to be real. It stars Hugh Dancy as Mortimer and Jonathan Pryce as Dr. Dalrymple, and brings a light romantic comedy approach to the topic rather than crude humor.

1. polite movie
Mortimer Granville is a young doctor looking for work in the nineteenth-century London.
Although it has a very big passion for helping people and is familiar with medical innovations,
she has trouble finding a permanent job (how do we know it?). Finally he comes under the
wing of the venerable Dr. Robert Dalrymple, which provides assistance to women suffering
from hysteria.
Their cooperation and several other coincidences will result in the invention of "electric
massager," or the popular erotic toys called dildo. "Hysteria - A romantic story of the
vibrator," deftly combines the story of the invention leading to "help" women with an
interesting theme of some erroneous trends in medicine.
As you know, no science (especially empirical) is not infallible. And so Mortimer has to
contend with doctors who do not believe in the existence of germs, Dalrymple daughter is
fascinated by phrenology, and inspired to work on a mechanical assist device struggles of
the main characters is hysteria - a disease which (as it turns out half a century later) does not
there. The latest film is planted Tanya Wexler known actors. In the role of Dr. Mortimer
Granville done very well, Hugh Dancy (some may associate it with the main role in the
excellent "Adam" from 2009). The actor does not quite fit into the visual play of young
idealists, is also correctly shows the way to be your character. Wyjadaczowi old Jonathan
Pryce'owi fell role of Robert Dalrymple, creation of definitions quite funny (at the end of the
old doctor performing erotic massage has great potential comedy). However, the way in
rozmieszaniu leads viewers Rupert Everett as Lord Edmund St.
John-Smythe, an eccentric inventor, and at the same time slacker best friend Mortimer.

3. In the role of two very different daughters Dalrymple we have a genuine pleasure to watch
Maggie Gyllenhaal ( "The Dark Knight", "Crazy Heart") and Felicity Jones ( "The Tempest",
"Like Crazy"). The topic of "Hysteria" may suggest that the film is quite ribald humor.
In the end, the movie revolves around sex and the beginning of the XXI cinema viewers
accustomed to the undiscriminating approach to this topic. But this time the individual gags
are quite economical and Wexler virtually every scene on the occasion of humorous pressed
the emergency brake and did not even approaching the level of gags Rogen or Apatow. And
I have to admit that it is a good move. Of the above gentlemen like not to acquire any break
another taboo and make your way are crazy (although it may be better to use the words
sometimes) funny. However, this popular cinema in today's cynical humor rather not accept
the costume romantic comedy. Ugadzony light and humor "Hysteria" composes with light and
imaginary story, to the delight of people tired bezpruderyjnoci other contemporary films with
similar themes. At the end I have to admit that the "hysteria" is a film without which no doubt
will to live. Few will lose the one who does not sacrifice him of almost two hours.
Nevertheless, even I had a good time at the screening.
With this one small amendment that after all none of this film is not resulted.
Perhaps only that believed in the ability of Western filmmakers to portray a sense of humor
and erotic flavor ..
