Regarding Thirty Two Short Films About Glenn Gould (1993) a reader writes:
I like this movie. I love the music, so there’s that, but the variety of approaches in the short films is what kept me going, even if a few of the shorts might be too long or too non-narrative for some. I just didn’t try to think too hard about any of it — the music was what made me really like the more abstract parts.
And that variety of approaches, since at least some worked off of Gould’s own words, lent some more insight into this baffling character. I think the piece we liked least was the McLaren contribution.
Although at some point, I don’t recall where, my Arts Editor said something about one piano piece being ham-handed.
