A uniquely intimate portrait of the music icon, Glass: A Portrait of Philip in Twelve Parts explores the contemporary composer's creative process in opera, concert, and film, interwoven with candid scenes of his personal and spiritual life. In July 2005, filmmaker Scott Hicks started shooting a documentary about the composer Philip Glass to celebrate his 70th birthday in 2007. Over the next 18 months, he followed Glass across three continents, from his annual ride on the Coney Island Cyclone roller coaster, to the world premiere of his new opera in Germany, to a performance with a didgeridoo virtuoso in Australia.

Allowed unprecedented access to Glass' working process, family life, spiritual teachers, and longtime collaborators, including Martin Scorsese, Errol Morris, Chuck Close, Christopher Hampton, and others, Hicks gives audiences a remarkable mosaic portrait of one of the greatest–and at times controversial–artists of this or any era.

This is an absolutely incredible film.

It's an intimate look at the creative process and creative collaboration–and that includes the lively interaction between the filmmaker and his subjects, among whom are some of the most accomplished people in contemporary art and cinema.

It is also a visually gorgeous, beautifully edited film that includes among its subjects several Glass theatre pieces which are stunningly beautiful.

Best of all, Philip Glass turns out to be a wonderfully warm-hearted, endearing human being who has led, and continues to lead, a life that fully embraces all of life's possibilities–at the age of 70.
