Philip Glass and movies go together like chocolate and peanut butter. Glass's iconic, pulsating, minimalist music has provided the background for many a feature film. Now Glass's life will provide the background for the documentary Glass: A Portrait of Phillip in Twelve Parts. The film was helmed by Scott Hicks, who has directed other documentaries but is perhaps best known for his narrative feature Shine, which covered the life of another unique musician, Australian pianist David Helfgott. Glass was first shown at the Toronto Film Festival last year and will come to the U.S. in April, premiering at New York City's IFC Center in conjunction with a revival of Glass's opera Satyagraha at the Metropolitan Opera House. The talking heads discussing Glass's life in Glass include two directors who have made great use of his music, Errol Morris and Martin Scorsese. [Billboard]
