Augustine Page #2
If all goes well,
the Academy is next.
I hope I'm not
wrong about you.
Holy Guardian Angel,
make him cure me.
Please, Holy Guardian Angel,
I'm begging you.
Open my eye,
make everything well.
Holy Guardian Angel,
Archangel Gabriel, all of you,
Holy Angel and Archangel...
protect me.
Help me.
Give me strength.
Will she be naked?
with a feather hat is absurd.
What are you waiting for?
Go ahead.
Friends, thank you for coming.
Today's patient is
named Augustine.
Augustine is nineteen.
She's had attacks for months
of what we call
"ovarian hysteria. "
Notice the paralysis
of the right eye?
An excellent example
of the hysterical wink.
Permanent paralysis.
The symptoms have
been visible for days,
but we've found
no organic lesion.
As with all hysterics,
this patient defies
the laws of anatomy.
We'll put her under hypnosis.
Via hypnosis, we'll reproduce
the attack in its natural state.
To identify it, to observe it,
and to classify
the symptoms.
Mr. Verdan here
will take pictures.
Mr. Bourneville...
you may hypnotize her.
Look at the mirror.
Look at the light in it.
Follow it.
Very good.
Continue.
Eye on it.
Keep your eye on it.
Now.
Do you know where you are?
I don't know.
Know the Salptrire?
Know that man?
You do know me?
You're Mr. Charcot.
The feather.
See her out.
Charcot has a new patient.
Yes, my husband told me.
Were you there?
I never miss them
but I was away.
Too bad.
It was particularly fascinating.
- See Humbert's piece?
- About her?
Likens her to Sarah Bernhard.
- Who?
- Your husband's new patient.
What an anatomy!
Indeed.
The tale she tells
is not for children.
Who?
Your new protg.
You mean patient.
This isn't a circus.
You trigger her attacks,
don't you?
I trigger attacks
to study symptoms.
Nothing more.
You really think
I can create diseases?
Ever seen 17th-century
prints of witches?
- Not the point.
- Answer.
The prints show exactly
what we see at the hospital.
Girls burned at the stake
for ages were merely ill.
There's one thing I want.
To understand.
Where does this
illness come from?
I claim it starts in the brain.
A lesion that left no trace.
It's incurable?
An emotional or physical shock
may suffice to make the patient well.
If it's in the brain,
why is their delirium
always sexual?
Why is it always so?
It's not part of the disease.
It's just delirium.
Serge, tell your adventures.
Jean says you're
climbing Mont Blanc.
It's not dangerous?
The risk doesn't scare you?
Not coming to bed?
Shortly.
