Andere Geschichten über geistige Behinderung? Die Spielfilme ‚Le huitième jour‘ (1996), ‚Yo, también‘ (2009) und ‚León y Olvido‘ (2004) Beitrag Susanne Hartwig Germanisch-Romanische Monatsschrift, Jahrgang 66 (2016), Ausgabe 2, Seite 225 - 240 The present article aims to show how traditional stereotypes about cognitive impairment are still present in actual films, although with a tendency towards more complex forms of representation. Three recent films about protagonists with Down’s syndrome show different ways to play with the stereotypes of victim and hero and offer a new kind of experience with this type of impairment to the spectator. While ‚Le huitième jour ‚and ‚Yo, también‘ destroy unilateral ideas of victims or heroes, ‚León y Olvido‘ includes ambivalence as well as a resource to undermine deadlocked images about disability and normality.
