U.S., 2000
Directed by Stanley Tucci
With Stanley Tucci, Ian Holm, Patricia Clarkson, Susan Sarandon
Approx. 104 min. 35mm.
“An account of the real-life relationship between a bemused, diffident New Yorker writer (Stanley Tucci) and a homeless eccentric, memorably played by Ian Holm, who frequented New York’s Bohemian art scene in the 1940s, and whose life’s work was the completion of a vast oral history of the world.” – Film Comment

Reviews
“It’s hard to imagine that anyone could be more authentic than Ian Holm in the role of Gould… Stanley Tucci has given the material a fine sense of tact; he has re-created an older, more generous New York, mellow as amber.”
– David Denby, The New Yorker
