This is a fascinating documentary on a fascinating subject - eccentric Canadian pianist Glenn Gould. The film prefers snapshot technique to straight narrative, and the leading character comes alive in Colm Feore's vivid performance. This one makes you believe that art is not dead as long as the people like Gould still exist.
