      Genius Within: The Inner Life...
      Overlay
      If you're unfamiliar with Glenn Gould (as I am, for the most part), this is a pretty informative, comprehensive overview. It works to document his entire career, dig into his personal life, and as the title states, detail his inner life: no small feat. This ambitious undertaking is sure to ignore some facets, and unfortunately, that is the music itself. There are a fair amount of transitional pieces used or performance clips, but the music does take a backseat. However, that can be a good thing, as it is then the viewer's responsibility to seek out the music if they are so inclined. That aside, Glenn Gould is such an enigmatic, creative, eccentric personality, as well as an endlessly talented pianist (plus, add in that he died unexpectedly at 50), that this documentary will likely make you want to explore much more of this man's myth.

        Xavier I learned about Glenn Gould in a Music Appreciation elective class in college. Much like other geniuses at their craft, this man had a very troubling life but an incredible output and an immense contribution to his domain.
