Although 'The Hypnosis' doesn't always hit the mark when it comes to gender conflicts, it's still a delicious social satire.
Satire has a unique way to strip down everyday life and make us laugh about how ridiculous human beings can be. That's exactly the case with Ernst De Geer's The Hypnosis , a comedy about the performative nature of relationships and the need to own our desires. It's an honest and hilarious look at the human condition, even if it makes a few missteps along the way.
Since Vera is trying to stop smoking, she decides to schedule an appointment with a hypnotherapist. Vera just wants to get rid of her addiction, but the therapist quickly realizes that what's causing her patient so much pain is the fact she is always trying to please others. So, during the session, the hypnotherapist proposes to help Vera to unleash her true desires, a procedure that goes all too well.
Written by De Geer and Mads Stegger, the script of The Hypnosis uses Vera's newfound freedom to imagine all sorts of hilarious situations. And while her behavior might shock the people around her, it's just delightful to watch August playing the role of a woman released from societal pressure. Vera is comfortable with her body, doesn't keep her opinions to herself, and speaks out every time something — or someone — bothers her.
