Wiki.
The Cerveau d'Hugo is a French documentary-fiction directed by Sophie Révil in 2012, focusing on autism. He crosses testimonies of authentic autistics with a fiction that traces the life of an autistic, Hugo, from childhood to adulthood, describing the difficulties he encounters as well as his entourage. Hugo's role is held by actor Thomas Coumans and his mother by Arly Jover.The documentary was broadcast on France 2 on November 27, 2012 at 8:45 p.m. He takes his place in an evolution of the vision of autism, both by health professionals and by the whole population, and where the role of biological causes is increasingly put forward by the High Authority of Health, at the expense of a purely psychoanalytic approach which until then dominates France.
