Based on real history, a hilarious and daring romantic comedy - how the vibrator was invented!
Directed by Tanya Wexler, Hysteria (2011) is an entertaining, intelligent, and heartfelt British period comedy set in Victorian-era London. With a twinkle in its eye, the film sheds light on a strange historical fact: a time when women's exhaustion, anxiety, and "hysteria" were treated by doctors with massages - until a young, progressive doctor accidentally invented the world's first electric vibrator.
