Movie Reviews of Glenn Gould - The Russian Journey
Movie Review: Very interesting and engaging
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a pretty good effort with very limited materials. A reconstruction through contemporary photos and archival material and also some very interesting and charming interview material by russian pianists deeply affected by Gould's revolutionary (excuse the pun) visit. Gould's visit, the first by a notable pianist and from the unknown Canada to boot, was like a breath of fresh to Russian musicians who lived within the appalling restrictions of a totalitarian state. Gould was rapturously received not only because of his amazing talent and pianism but also because of what he represented - an ideal of artistic freedom and independence.
Sadly, there are no contemporary recordings and no film footage!!! That is of course what we all wait for but it never comes. Nevertheless, I enjoyed this doco very much.
