An enigmatic musical poet, Glenn Gould continues to captivate audiences twenty-six years after his early passing. His inimitable music and writings reveal an insightful worldview.
Though there have been many documentaries about Gould, most are distracted by his eccentricities, focusing on the pills, gloves and scarves whilst missing the man and message behind the music. Genuis Within pierces through the myths. It weaves together an unprecedented array of very rare archive footage and interviews with Gould's closest friends, plus never-before heard home recordings and excerpts from his private diaries.
