The hard core of concert hall habitués who await a new Philip Glass opera or symphony as children might look for presents on a snowy December morn will almost certainly be let down by Scott Hicks’ affectionate documentary on the composer, Glass: A Portrait of Philip in Twelve Parts. This would be a shame, for if they looked past the lack of long soliloquies from Glass on why he chose this particular movement over another, or on the details of his working method, they would find a completely charming piece of work that’s as unassuming and winning as the man himself.Glass is in limited release now.
