Description:

As the title suggests, the film does not present a single narrative. Instead it presents a series of thirty-two short films. These include documentaries (five interviews with people who knew him), re-creations of scenes from Gould's life, and various odd items (such as GOULD MEETS MCLAREN, in which animated spheres reminiscent of those in Norman McLaren's animations move to Gould's music). The thirty two short films range in length from six minutes to less than one. The form is inspired by Johann Sebastian Bach's Goldberg Variations, which was Gould's acclaimed first recording." <98mn>
