In anticipation of his friend Philip Glass’s 70th birthday, filmmaker Scott Hicks ('Shine') documented a year in the life of the contemporary concert hall’s best-known composer. The result is a 12-part ‘mosaic portrait’ of Glass that follows him across several continents showing him at work and at home. Glass’s own accounts of himself are contrasted with a gamut of other views, both music-related and devastatingly personal. (“I don’t know what you’re going to do about Philip’s wives. We’ve already decided we’re not going to tell you anything about them,” says Glass’s sister.) [source: World Cinema Showcase 2009]
I apologise, we feel bad, but there's no trailer available. ~Ed.
Recommended for those who enjoy watching an artist at work, this chronicles a year in the life of Philip Glass, one of the world’s most unique musicians. The mosaic structure of the film examines the man from every angle and each new interviewee is able to offer a unique glimpse into his character, many of whom are in the running for craziest laugh ever.
