My promised TONY review of Satyagraha is too short to add much to the overall discussion, and its money line was reported here on opening night, anyway. But I'm glad to have done it, and glad that I could get it to the web a week before the actual physical magazine shipped.
What I really want to draw your attention to on the TONY website is another piece I recently filed: a review of Glass: A Portrait of Philip in Twelve Parts. This enlightening new documentary by Australian director Scott Hicks (Shine, Snow Falling on Cedars, No Reservations) just opened last Friday at the IFC Center here in New York, in a run scheduled for two weeks only. Bookings in San Francisco, Seattle, Chicago, Minneapolis and Washington, D.C. are pending, according to the film's website.
As someone who has seen several Glass documentaries (at least three that I can think of) and read more than a few books and articles on the subject, I think that if you don't learn something completely new from this film, you're probably Philip Glass. (There's a sassy little cameo by this guy, too.)
