The Boy With the Incredible Brain
Extraordinary documentary about Daniel Tammet whose mental arithmetic, linguistic and memory skills are such that he has recited Pi to 22,514 places. A feat which took 5 hours. To test him, he is to learn a new language in a week, for the film makers. Includes an interview with the real life person that was the inspiration for Dustin Hoffman’s character in Rain Man.
Trivia: The celebrated Cambridge Psychologist, Simon Baron Cohen, who examines Daniel in this film, is a second cousin of ‘Borat’ (Sacha Baron Cohen).
