Directed by Peter Raymont and Michèle Hozer, this is a decent docimentary on the life of Gould, but not a great one.
The centre of the film are interviews conducted with the American painter Cornelia Foss and her two children. Foss lived with Gould for almost four years, following a separation from her husband, the pianist Lukas Foss (a contemporary of Gould's).
Listening to the audio recordings of Gould's voice, I was struck by how well Colm Feore nailed his voice in "32 Short Films About Glenn Gould" and, on reflection, how that film, although a work of fiction, was probably more successful at depicting his "inner life".
