Preview: Glass, a Portrait of Philip in 12 Parts (2008)

• Poster: C+

Review:

While I'll give them applause for using the piano's open cover to display their title, the poster itself rather messy and uninspired. Unless you know or care who Philip Glass is, this poster won't pull you into the theater.

• Trailer: B-

Review:

It might be interesting to see into the mind of one of the most bizarre and eclectic composers currently living, but the documentary doesn't seem to give us much insight into what makes him tick.

Oscar Prospects:

I could see the Academy voting for a documentary about one of their own, but I could also see them rejecting it for lacking anything resembling controversy.

Release Date:

• April 18, 2008
