Ladies and Gentlemen...Mr. Leonard Cohen paints an informal portrait of the legendary Montreal poet, novelist and songwriter both onstage and off.
On December 24th, at 8 o'clock in the morning, a young 14 year old boy by the name of Scott Johnson was found dead. Doctors couldnt come up with the cause of his death. His mother checked his emails to see if she could figure out whathappened. Turns out he was still signed in myspace. She found out he had gone to sleep after he read and didnt repose a chain letter. If you dont repose this to 6 other videos, a girl with no face will kill you tonight srry. I dont want 2 die
sorry :(
another great offering from the NFB. too bad the classic days seem to be gone forever with their new concern over "keeping up" over quality and giving filmmakers a chance to produce this art.
I completely agree, dontwasteitdoll! Best film here in my opinion. Aside from it being about Leonard Cohen (-: - the production value is incredible and that's remarkable considering it's age. Very well preserved. 10/10
This is one of the best videos I have watched on YouTube. I am really pleased to see how seriously Mr. Cohen was taken as a poet before he started rolling out the jams. The Energy of Slaves and Death of a Lady's Man are two of the best collections of poetry I have read. Thank you for sharing this on here with us!
A fabulous film....thanks so much for posting. I adore this man, his wry and wicked humour, deep sensitivity, humility and passion, I was lucky enough to meet him also.
Maybe it's just that I've been watching Cosmos a lot lately, but when he's so young here, he looks almost like Carl Sagan sometimes... especially the way he talks and moves...
