Maggie Gyllenhaal has been in little, indie flicks (Secretary), Oscar bait (Crazy Heart), and blockbusters (The Dark Knight), but Hysteria is the very first time she’s been in a film about vibrators. The story follows a Victorian-era doctor as he comes up with a device to help ladies, and ironically he’s not the one particular who is deemed a menace to society—instead, it’s Gyllenhaal’s character, Charlotte Dalrymple, the outspoken crusader for women’s and children’s rights. With her own household growing—her second youngster Gloria was born final month—Gyllenhaal sat down with ELLE.com to speak about how becoming a mother has affected her alternative in films, and why she’s not turned on by most film sex scenes.
ELLE: This isn’t the initial time you are starring in a film that offers with female sexuality. What’s the draw for you?
Maggie Gyllenhaal: I assume everybody’s interested in sex and sexuality. I assume it’s a portion of being human, and film is an interesting spot to explore that, specifically since I think sex has been explored in film in a way that is quite unreal and very a lot based in fantasy. When I see sex scenes in movies that are real and totally free, like my personal encounter of sex, they’re so a lot sexier. I guess it’s a nod of subtle feminism to be able to express it from a woman’s points of view what true sex is like—where it is not like you are wearing a black demi-cup Victoria’s Secret bra and it’s lit perfectly and you are arching your back—it’s not like that!
