PASSION & POWER is a provocative, enjoyable film that explores the controversial history of the electro-magnetic vibrator, from the Victorian era – when doctors used the device to relieve women of “hysteria” – through the sexual revolution of the 1960s to the post-feminist present. As well as revealing the vibrator’s mysterious past, this informative yet unexpectedly funny film digs deeper to uncover the female orgasm from the time of Hippocrates to the present day, and explores its ramifications for sexual politics and gender dynamics throughout history.
