Ladies And Gentlemen, Mr Leonard Cohen

‘Infinitely wise and without direction’, this is an intimate portrait of Leonard Cohen circa 1964, shot in his hometown in Montreal at the pinnacle of his literary acclaim. The film, like Cohen’s poetry, is a preservation of his true self – ‘Poetry is not an occupation but a verdict’. We instantly lust for this brain-sexy man who envelops us in a warm, worn blanket, like the whispering pages of his books.
