Customer Reviews of 32 Short Films About Glenn Gould
The film won awards because it should've. <
>Colm Feore is excellent as Glenn Gould, and there is the film. There are some wonderful musical interludes and visual interpretations, but Feore is the film. <
>Now, does the film cover every aspect of Glenn Gould's life? No. But what biographical film ever does? I've read a couple biographies, and some entertaining facets of Gould's life were missed. The characters he created and performed as weren't even mentioned but his wit and warmth as a human being were expounded upon by people who actually knew him--now that is valuable, seeing and hearing the people who were touched by that great pianist. <

Great!
"Gould's passion and charisma cross all boundaries plus reach out and grab one by the throat." That quote by a reviewer sums up the sublime emotion portrayed in this film. You can see the young Gould growing up and his passion for his music increasing exponentially throughout his relatively short life. The movie, disjointed, fragmented and disorganized like the genius Gould, is a wonderful artistic statement of the man and his marvelous gifts to all of us. I listen to his recording of "The French Suites" with awe and profound appreciation...and think what it may have been like to be this man, trying to live such an ideal life in such an imperfect and messy world.

>As an old folk lyric in the song "Vincent" proclaims, "This world was not made for someone as beautiful as you." Glenn was truly a beautiful soul.
Mostly uneventful and somewhat pretentious
I like Glenn Gould. I didn't care for this movie however.
<
>1) The actor does not look like Glenn at all in my opinion, which I find distracting.
<
>2) Its very disjointed, and a lot of the components offer very little insight about Glenn or his life. One scene was Glenn simply going into a restaurant and listening to other people's conversations. Big deal, this is not interesting. I know this was supposed to offer a subtle insight into his personality, but it's boring and it comes across as pretentious filmmaking. Another example; Glenn is listening to a record with a cleaning lady. Thats it. Why is this interesting? Someone could film my uncle in Wal Mart, but would you care? Hey, look...My Uncle Carl is buying batteries. Now he is putting his change in his pocket. How utterly profound....

>In my opinion, you will learn and understand more about Glenn Gould by listening to his music than watching this lackluster, uneventful movie.
