GENIUS WITHIN: THE INNER LIFE OF GLENN GOULD (THE)

An enigmatic musical poet, Glenn Gould continues to captivate audiences twenty-six years after his early passing. The Genius Within: The Inner Life of Glenn Gould casts a new light on a man whose ideas were as controversial, and his private life as passionate, as his music. The film includes personal memories from Gould’s most intimate friends and lovers, some of whom have never spoken about him before, plus never-before-heard home recordings and excerpts from his private diaries.
