Glass: A Portrait of Philip in Twelve Parts - 7 stars out of 10
500th Review
This was an interesting look into the life of a very diverse composer. Going beyond the glory, it shows the hard work that Philip Glass puts into each composition, his messy lifestyle, the strains on his marriage, and the impressive number of projects that he constantly undertakes, even at age 70! I like the form of the piece, split into twelve parts and appropriately organized like the music of this composer. This is a great documentary for anyone who has an interest in Glass's unique minimalistic/repetative style or who would like to take a look into the world of a composer.
