Philip Glass Movie

The Gene Siskel Film Center is hosting the Chicago premiere of Glass: A Portrait of Philip in Twelve Parts next week. Here's the details.

Chicago premiere!
GLASS: A PORTRAIT OF PHILIP IN TWELVE PARTS
2007, Scott Hicks, Australia/USA, 115 min.

“An informal and affectionate demystification of the artist.”--Gregory Kirschling, Entertainment Weekly

“With his self-deprecating demeanor and easy laugh, Glass is a congenial presence.”--Joshua Kosman, San Francisco Chronicle

With a nod to one of the composer’s own scores, director Hicks (SHINE) divides this profile of Philip Glass into segments, each serving as a significant chapter in the personal life and career of this towering figure in contemporary avant-garde music. The film follows Glass through the year of preparation that culminates in the premiere of his opera Waiting for the Barbarians, and engages his musical collaborators, siblings, wife, ex-wife, Woody Allen, and longtime confidant, painter Chuck Close, in revealing interviews. The man himself blithely bakes vegetarian pizza and declares he has no secrets. HDCAM video. (BS)
