Thirty Two Short Films About Glenn Gould

The sound of genius.

Thirty Two Short Films About Glenn Gould is a 1993 film about the pianist Glenn Gould played by Colm Feore. 

Watch the Trailer!

As the title suggests, this dramatised documentary about the eccentric Canadian pianist Glenn Gould is broken up into thirty-two short films (mirroring the thirty-two part structure of Bach's 'Goldberg Variations', the recording that Gould made famous), each giving us an insight into some aspect of Gould's life and career. Out of respect for the music lead actor Colm Feore is never seen playing the piano, merely reacting to Gould's own recordings, which are extensively featured.Written by Michael Brooke <michael@everyman.demon.co.uk>
