The Screen Guide

TOURETTE'S TICS is a short mock/documentary which explodes the myth of the 'hysterical woman', a myth has been perpetuated by Sigmund Freud, who has been described by some as 'a reeckless cocaine addict guilty of mass plagarism.' Tourette's Tics questions the authority of the 'expert in the white quote' and turns hysteria into the hysterical.
