I’m watching a lot of movies lately for my two classes. Last weekend I saw a film about the Canadian classical pianist Glenn Gould, directed by Fran\u00c3\u00a7ois Girard. Similar plot structure to the Ray Johnson movie: How to Draw a Bunny. The film is made up of snippets of interviews of Goulds acquaintances mixed with reenactments of events in his life leading up to his death. This quiet little film is charming, funny, inspiring. Makes me want to get some of his music. Will you give me ten dollars please?<\/p>\n
