Aro Recommended Genius Within: The Inner Life of Glenn Gould

 

Canada 2009, 108 minutes
Dir. Peter Raymont, Michele Hozer
Rating: [G]
Genres: Documentary, Music / Classical Music

 

Aroview: The definitive filmic account of the enigmatic Canadian-born pianist and cult figure that reveals a wealth of never-before-seen footage and personal reminiscences of those who knew him best.

The film-makers succeed in illuminating (if not penetrating) the Gould enigma, a persona that segued from precocious iconoclast who enjoyed "overnight" success in the 1950's to the erratic, eccentric middle-ager he became in the 70's. An enriching musical tour that has obvious parallels to 'geniuses' in other artistic fields, this will at the very least expand one's appreciation of classical music.
