This film works as therapy as well for the director
as for the spectators. The confrontation between the
actresses and the director selecting them in his private
apartment, results in chaos on the set. The name of the
movie is based on the book by Lucien Israël:

"La jouissance de l'hystérique"
.
By " hysteria " should be understood hysterical women as
they all turn out to be. The power game between them and
the director results in his citing texts of Marx.
Does the revolution give us an escape out of the
power-confrontation between men and women?
This is an intellectual film full of citations of Jacques
Lacan, the world-famous psychoanalyst. It is the last part
of the trilogy and it is in sharp contrast with the preceding
movies of the trilogy full of action, and at the same time
it is the very sensitive finishing chapter of the trilogy

"The sexual life of the Belgians".
