THIRTY TWO SHORT FILMS ABOUT GLENN GOULD (1993)

This intriguing biopic takes the unique form of a 32 part anthology of short films.  But this obviously isn't just any old collection of stories.  Director Francois Girard didn't want to deliver one distinct impression of Glenn Gould, so instead the viewer digests thirty two different versions of Glenn Gould, the famed Canadian concert pianist who gave up touring to focus entirely on recording, whose numerous eccentricities could have served as fodder for thirty two different full length films.  Canadian national treasure Colm Feore plays Glenn Gould, and although this unconventional film's 98 minutes are arranged somewhat chronologically, the segments are incredibly diverse; some are barely longer than a minute, some are as long as seven minutes, some are documentary interviews with friends and contemporaries, some are recreations of interviews or events, and some are as abstract as animated color spheres set to his music or a rapid fire montage of all the prescription drugs Gould took.

BATMAN: GOTHAM KNIGHT (2008)

This film was originally released about a week before The Dark Knight but if you have bat-fever now in anticipation of next summer's The Dark Knight Rises then this intriguing interquel might be just the bat-cure you're looking for.  Six mildly inter-connected tales that bridge the gap between the two Nolan Batman features are on display here, and despite featuring familiar talent in both the vocal and writing departments, this is unlike any Batman you've seen before, thanks to the distinctly Japanese animation style courtesy of six different Japanese animation houses; its Batmanime.
