By Penny Johnson, Contributing Author

Beginning in September, the most recent documentary film about Glenn Gould, Genius Within: The Inner Life of Glenn Gould (2009) will make its premiere screenings in the United States.

Directed by Gemini award winner, Michèle Hozer and Emmy award winner, Peter Raymont, the film examines the personal side of Gould and gives a never-before-documented glimpse into his relationship with Cornelia Foss. The film also boasts an impressive collection of newly released Gould photos and video footage. Sensitive and insightful interviews with Kevin Bazzana, Don Hunstein, John P. L. Roberts, Ray Roberts, Roxolana Roslak and Lorne Tulk contribute to the overall narrative of the film.

“…Even those of us who don’t know about Gould's work will appreciate this film.” – Steve McLean, MSN.ca
