Steve,Based on your advice, I went and rented the Glenn Gould movie. I am sorry to report that it irritated me from the first minute - the fake importance of him walking half mile over the snow. I didn't like that self promotion with a bit of music thrown in. I would never expect anybody trully great (say, Horowitz?) to make movie about HIMSELF.
We turned it OFF after about 20 minutes. Glenn Gould meets Glenn Gould was way too much for our senses. His attempt at philosophy was just too shallow. The character too small.
On a more positive note: the Bitter Harvest is quite interesting. Have you seen it?
Victor.
