    Essential viewing for anyone interested in music and creativity
  

*by S***R on Reviewed in the United States on May 12, 2009*

I will start off by saying that I'm a huge Philip Glass fan- I've been to over 50 Glass concerts of all types since 1988 and have an extensive collection of Glass memorabilia as well.  I've had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Glass on several occasions.This movie is essential viewing for anyone interested in music and creativity.  Mr. Glass is a genius; a music "machine" who is incredibly prolific and obsessed with music composition.  He's a human being too, as the film vividly illustrates.  He is simply an amazing man yet struggles with the demands of life as all of us do, as the ending of the film makes clear.Scott Hicks, who has directed the films "Shine" and "No Reservations" among others, is a fan of Mr. Glass and followed Mr. Glass around the world for approximately two years as he worked on composing his Symphony No. 8, toured his work for the Philip Glass Ensemble and world musicians called "Orion", and premiered his opera "Waiting for the Barbarians" in Erfurt, Germany.There is simply so much in this movie that I can't go into all of it here.  I first saw the movie at the Sarasota Film Festival and it was shown on PBS TV as part of the "American Masters" series in April of this year.Even if you don't like Glass's music, this movie will carry you along for an exploration into an incredible artist.  This movie is just like Glass's music- multi-dimensional, out of the ordinary, beautiful, humorous, spiritual, and haunting.  The cinematography is also superior to ordinary documentaries.  It's fast paced and could have easily been much longer.  Also includes a second DVD which includes outtakes, extended interviews with Glass, performance clips from the incredible work "Orion", and Glass performing "Metamporphosis" on piano in concert.  A remarkable portrait of the greatest living composer!

    Phillip Glass: A Ordinary Person Who Is An Extraordinary Person, Too; a delight for any P. Glass fan.
  

*by M***Y on Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2014*

This movie is just like spending time with Phillip Glass, in his home, with his friends and family, etc. seeing bits of him outside his music, (yes, he is just a person,) but brilliant, of course, but kind, down to earth mixed in with genius. No, he does not walk on water.  He is married, has kids, parents, makes and eats pizza, has his eccentricities, has suffered loss, has struggled, and probably still does.  It's wonderful he has opened up to us, in his big hearted way, to share himself this way, so we can learn more about his music, where it comes from, how he works, and more about "genius's."  Something about him and his music and this movie causes me to think that we all have this potential, somewhere, if we can access it. It's inspiring.  I am as touched by the movie as I am expanded by all of his music, and it's about this ordinary person who is an extraordinary person, too.

    A great documentary of a special person!
  

*by R***I on Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2009*

This is the documentary that recently airedon the PBS series American Masters. This isa terrific insight to the mind of such abrilliant and multi-faceted person. Not onlydoes Glass come off as intriguing, butself-effacing and humble. You will learnabout his background in music as wellas his upbringing, family, and spiritualpursuits. The interviews are candid andwitty. As a composer myself I found thisvery inspiring, but one does not needto be a musician to appreciate. For thosethat have seen the doc on PBS already it'sstill worth it with all the bonus footageon the second disc. You get about anhour and a half of the leftover interviewsand about the same in live performances.A must have for Glass fans!
