As movies go, it gives about as unhistorical an impression as possible. It's not much more than a silly comedy with contemporary actors dressed up as in a school play, doing their utmost best to pretend they are in another era and failing miserably.

It may be loosely based on history and all, but almost everyone - especially the ladies coming in for treatments - act so utterly contrived and 21st-century-ish unembarrassed that the whole thing is unbelievable and a waste of time for anyone interested in either good historical entertainment or even just something to do with medfet.

A good idea, but awful execution. And a big disappointment.

@agracier - I'm not sure about where you are, but here in the US, the movie is billed as a comedy, not a historical documentary so I'm not the least surprised that you found it disappointing if you expected anything more than a lighthearted farce. Be glad you were able to see it at all, as far as I know it still hasn't broken wide in the US. It's only showing in NYC and LA. I fear that here in the deep south we won't see it at all.

AG,

Sad to read your words; I was looking for something better too.

Oh, well, it's my thought that we have to write our own screen play, adapt it to television or the big screen, and then find somebody with several million buck$ that wants erotic excitation and is willing to put his money on the examination table, and we would be off and running.

I think we should get busy working on that no later than noon, when I am back from the gym... Oops, I am in the Shenandoah National Park for the week, with many hikes and other activities scheduled; let's put this off until next Monday at noon o'clock...

Have a gr8 day!

Hermann

P.S. AG, if you have not met the LadyDoc, please allow this to serve as a qualified introduction to two people, both of whom I think fondly ~

I could not really really think of one reason why it shouldn't be shown anywhere at all, it's not titillating or erotic in the least. There's not an inch of bare flesh to be seen, or if there was then I was probably yawning so much I couldn't keep my eyes open ... ha ha.

But even so, when you get the chance, see it, so you can compare it to other movies.

For those unable to find a movie theater showing "Hysteria" here is a link to several sites online where you can watch it:

Man, I really wanted this movie to be good. But it just...sucked.

The movie is more a romance than a medfet film

Of course, it's definitely NOT a med-fet film.

It brings to life the earliest attempt at understanding female sexuality.
