Product Description By 1978 Leonard Cohen had already produced a staggering body of work that had firmly set the standard for the singer-songwriter genre and contained numerous classic songs within its cannon but the 6 studio albums released between then and 2006 contained some of the finest work of Cohen's entire career. This film examines that period. It mixes rare performance footage studio recordings interviews rarely seen photographs location shoots and many other features with contributions from some of Cohen's closest colleagues and from experts on his life and music.

One for obsessive fansSeptember 4, 2008 Elizabeth Jolley(Australia) 8 out of 8 found this review helpful
I was disappointed by this poorly made documentary. It consists mainly of talking heads that tend to repeat themselves. There is very little footage of Leonard Cohen and the obvious filler bits are irritating. 'I'm Your Man' and 'Ladies and Gentleman' are more worthwhile purchases.
Well done piece of workSeptember 30, 2008 Sid Kaskey(south miami, fl United States) 7 out of 7 found this review helpful
Maybe too much information for some, but I found it an excellent background on a song-writer poet I much admire.
The stories behind the songs.January 19, 2009 Mary F. Kuhn(Erie, PA) 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
We loved learning a little about the stories behind the songs. This documentary was a high quality accounting of Leonard Cohen's history. Part two continued.....can't wait for another possible installment!
