Glenn Gould's Toronto (1979)

Overview

In this witty documentary monologue, Glenn Gould reflects on his complex relationship with Toronto — praising its quietude, poking fun at its reputation, and weighing its cultural mosaic, urban resilience, and rivalry with Montreal. With his trademark mix of clarity, irony, and personal reminiscence, Gould reveals a bond with the city that is neither boosterish nor dismissive, but as nuanced and singular as the man himself.
