The Song of Leonard Cohen

This enlightening documentary is the brainchild of celebrated Canadian filmmaker Harry Rasky, who not only produced, wrote, but also directed it. Shot in 1979-80 and originally broadcasted on CBC in 1980, this heartwarming tribute unfolds over a 90-minute narrative that dives into the iconic 1979 tour, as well as the "New Skin" and "Recent Songs" albums and "Death of a Lady's (and Ladies') Man" book and album. The film masterfully combines live music segments with Leonard Cohen's thoughtful musings on life itself, his poetry, and his songs. Remarkably, each viewing unveils an added layer of entertainment and profound wisdom that resonates deeply with viewers.
