CINEMA CYCLE
(Cardio Workout And Reviewing Movies At The Same Time)
DATE REVIEWED: 07/21/2017
FORMAT: Laserdisc
TIME RIDDEN / FILM LENGTH: 58 minutes
DISTANCE RIDDEN WHILE VIEWING: 13 miles
TOTAL CINEMA MILES LOGGED: 7111.6 miles
SYNOPSIS: A performance of Bach’s Goldberg Variations, all 34 of them.
CONCEPT IN RELATION TO THE VIEWER: Artistry and the lengths and depths that some go through to create art.
PROS AND CONS: If you like the piano, this is almost a must see. The number of people throughout history that can play the piano this well could be counted on one hand.
Mr. Gould is supposedly reclusive and no longer performs in public. He gives a brief interview prior to the performance and then delves into the Variations.
The performance is astounding and a little on the bizarre side. Mr. Gould almost morphs into the piano and becomes a part of the instrument.
This film is a part of my LaserDisc Collection.
Clicking on the title will take you to the Internet Movie Database (IMDB) entry for this film.
This film was viewed while exercising on my recumbent cycle. A summary of my time spent working out on my journey through movie-land can be found on Strava.com.
