- Here it is -- the complete film. All 48 minutes of it. I said I would make it my mission to find it, bracing for a years-long, nationwide search through labyrinthian WorldCats & expensive 16mm-to-DVD transfers. So desperate, I offered to trade my 2nd favorite Zippo for it.
In the end, the film was unceremoniously dumped in my lap by two fellow Gouldian RUclipsrs, a native Torontonian & an expat living in Switzerland, both of whom saw my original upload of the stunted 25-minute version, went through the time & expense to make me copies of the full version & to mail them to the States. All thanks go to them, who by request shall remain nameless. These Patron Saints of Buried Gould refused renumeration, so in their honor (& in Glenn's memory) I made a donation to the Humane Society.
"Glenn Gould's Toronto" can now be seen as it was meant to be seen. For many people (including myself) this is the first time they've seen the entire film since it was first screened on the CBC in 1979. Let me assure you, the missing bits are true gems.
To any Gouldian, this film needs no introduction. "Glenn Gould's Toronto" is the Holy Grail of Gould films. The first (and last) time I saw it was when I rented it from the Toledo Public Library in 1994. Ive been looking for the film ever since; it is long out-of-print, and nowhere to be found (except for brief excerpts) anywhere online...until now.
I will dispense with any witty descriptions so as not to ruin the astonishment you will experience upon seeing the film for the first time. Suffice it to say, you have never seen this Glenn Gould doing those things, nor would you ever have imagined it.
Written by Glenn Gould. Directed by John McGreevy. Part of the Cities series of films. Nominated for three Genie Awards (the Canadian Oscars): Outstanding Documentary (McGreevy), Outstanding Independent Film (McGreevy), Outstanding Non-Dramatic Script (Glenn Gould). (Apparently, some piece of shit film nobody cares about beat it in all three categories. Of course, losing a "Genie" seems to be a badge of honor. Kate Lynch won the "Genie" for Best Actress that year for her masterful performance in..."Meatballs." I kid you not.)

“...my moods are, more or less, inversely related to the clarity of the sky on any given day...” This man is so thoughtful and well spoken. I love learning more and more about him! I’ve loved his musical talent for 50 years but watching these Utube videos documenting his life have made me even a bigger fan!
thanks so much for uploading the whole film..
He is an interesting character is Glenn Gould. I love his recordings and they are played to death but I kind of like hi quirkiness as well. I'm not sure how much of it was down to real eccentricity or maybe Aspergers or whether he exaggerated it a bit to maintain his mystique. In any case i love this film.
He managed his brand very well.
" behind every silver lining is a cloud"..lol
Incredible how Yorkville's identity has changed in just 30ish years.
the camera work is awesome
Thank you very much.
lol I half expected Gould to be boogeying along there from 8.07
5:00 He has never appeared so much like the alien he really was- marveling at the shopping mall. Absurd!
great upload, thanks a lot!
@HoboSuperstar -- The filmmaker "inserted all this horrid pop music into this film." I present the film in its entirety in the role of archivist. Perhaps you can find a copy of the film & manipulate it to your liking (if Gould's posture is to hunched for your liking, for example, you can superimpose Horowitz). Fin.
quite the car he drives..
7:13 I had read that Glenn was left handed but here he holds the spoon in his right hand.
It's a spoon for crying out loud. Most can manage it with either hand.
Gould was left-handed. So was Rubenstein and many pianists for some reason. I rather think many are ambidextrous.
Exhibition Stadium remained Prohibition Stadium until 1982
Gould was known to have genuinely liked some pop music, the poor uneducated oaf... if only you were there for him to help improve his taste!
Спасибо! С любовью из России!
Glenn Gould had a driving licence? When did he do that?
At 1.30 the folk singer is a dead ringer for Matthew McConaughey!
Late 50s
6:15 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
It's weird this guy says he's more comfortable with cloudy days than sunshine, doesn't like that people drink alcohol, doesn't like people partying, he doesn't understand why people like amusement parks and prefers wandering around places on his lonesome. And then you find out he had major depressive disorder and died at age 50 from a stress stroke. Damn dude way to bottle up your emotions.
Bold to assume that you need to engage in a specific set of behaviors to “not be depressed”
I mean, to be fair, there are big stars who do all of those things and still find themselves depressed. Least he didn't die of an overdose or committed suicide like some of them did.
