7/10
a fine documentary
24 November 2006
You have to know and like Leonard Cohen to appreciate this film. I found the documentary style to be quite nice and informative. Up close and personal kind of format. You really should be in a melancholy mood to watch this, if you're in action film mode you will fast be bored. But the songs are nice and well executed and very meaningful for those that idolize Cohen. Cohen seems to look for the deepest of emotions in his writings and comes up with many good lyrics that are unique in presentation. I would recommend this on Christmas or New Years Eve after the guests have all left and you're sitting in the great room with a snifter of fine warmed brandy waxing nostalgic in front of the fire.
