Glass: a Portrait of Philip in Twelve Parts (2007)

Scott Hicks' eloquent portrait of Philip Glass was filmed over a year in which the renowned composer staged the opera Waiting for the Barbarians, wrote his eighth symphony and scored several films. The creative respect between subject and documenter gives Hicks unprecedented access to all aspects of Glass' life, including his spiritual enquiries and his domestic proclivities in his New York apartment and summer home in Nova Scotia.
