Glass: A Portrait of Philip in Twelve Parts
For 18 months Oscar-nominated and Emmy Award-winning director Scott Hicks (Shine) followed the legendary Philip Glass (The Hours, Notes on a Scandal) across three continents, creating a remarkable portrait of this brilliant composer. Allowed unprecedented access to Glass' working process and collaborators (including Martin Scorsese and Errol Morris). Hicks presents a unique glimpse into the life of one of the greatest artists of this or any era.

Knock knock. Who's there? Knock knock. Who's there? Knock knock. Who's there? Philip Glass - jagfilm
Scott Hicks, the director "Shine" brings an exhaustive overview of the life and career of Philip Glass. The film is oddly disappointing in that, even at two hours, it feels like you've barely scratched the surface of what makes Glass tick. Not that he's a shy interview. He is very candid, as are his friends and collaborators, but the film still leaves you feeling that there is more to uncover. That said, there are several portions of the film that are fascinating, and for anyone with even a casual interest in Philip Glass, there is much here to discover.
