Hello all!
To give
a quick reply to the person asking about the new documentary that
screened at TIFF this week - Genius Within: The Inner Life of Glenn
Gould - I am happy to report that this will likely become the gauge
by which we measure the quality of future films about Gould.
It is a brilliant and highly accurate piece of work, in that the
many interviews conducted, were done with those who were closest to
Gould. The Foss family is absolutely delightful, and one
really gets a sense of ho w much of Gould's public facade was just
that. ; While the film is not just about his relationships
with women, namely Cornelia Foss, it does make up a good
portion. And rightly so, because never before have we been
able to see this other side of Gould. There are some
incredible pictures AND footage which has never been seen
before. The film does not sensationalize anything or anyone,
nor does it perpetuate the myth of him being a recluse who wears
winter clothing in the summer. Gould definitely had issues
with being in control, and totally knew what he was doing in
creating his own image. Let's face it, we all still buy into
it to some extent. This film goes beyond that, as I said, and
shows us a side that has not yet been revealed. We need to
know this side existed, not to be nosy or anything, but more
importantly, to have an accurate conception of who he was and what
he was about. It's a brilliant film and you all MUST see
it! It's worth it for the interviews alone, never m ind the
footage. I particularly liked the interviews with Lorne Tulk,
Kevin Bazzana and Pet Clark. Yes, she's in it too!
On a
side note, we were informed that the film will be in theatres across
Canada very soon, and also that an American company has purchased
the rights to show it in that country. I believe that company
will be announced shortly. In the US, the film will show in
about 30 different cities. Back here in Canada, a shortened
version of the film will air on Valentine's day, on the Bravo!
network. As for when it comes out on DVD, I have been advised
by the Estate that it likely won't be for at least another 6
months. Indeed, something to look forward to!
Best
wishes from Toronto!

Thank you Penny for the
review. :)
That's really good news...I'm glad they are
releasing the film on DVD. Too
bad the city I live in won't
show such a film...
I'm still waiting for Sony Classical to
release their GG Collection series
on DVD. My guess is that
it probably won't happen but one can only hope.
Regards,
Theresa

I, as other F_minor members
and fellow Gouldians, await the release of the GG Collection series
on DVD.
Penny: is the GGF active in persuading Sony to do
this (as I am
sure there will be many people who would like to
have these)?
Also, what about the release of other footage of
Glenn Gould on film or video? from CBC? from Sony?
Are they at
the Library of Canada? I know there are a slew of tapes there, but
any progress on digitizing those tapes and having them available for
the public to see? Be nice to know about any of these
endeavors.
Regards,
Katherine
