Leonard Cohen, (born September 21, 1934 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada) is a poet, novelist and singer-songwriter. His musical career has largely overshadowed his prior work as a poet and novelist, although he has continued to publish poetry sporadically after his breakthrough in the music industry. Musically, Cohen's early songs are based in folk music, in terms of both melody and instrumentation; from the 1970s, though, his work begins to show the influence of various types of popular and cabaret music. |

Reviews: 3 stars out of 5 -- "[A] marvelous blend of documentary and concert film....The film cuts in interviews with Cohen interpreting his songs and telling of adventures that took him from New York clubs to a Zen monastery..." (Rolling Stone, 07/13/2006, p.125, Peter Travers), "The concert is mixed with interviews with the 71-year-old Canadian singer-songwriter, and he's a charmingly self-deprecating raconteur." (Entertainment Weekly, 06/30/2006, p.139, Owen Gleiberman), "[T]he many highlights include a fabulous version of 'Chelsea Hotel No. 2" sung by Rufus Wainwright..." -- Grade: B (Entertainment Weekly, 11/17/2006, p.107, Entertainment Weekly Staff), 4 stars out of 5 -- "It's a warm, touching portrait of a genius -- and long overdue." (Total Film, 01/01/2007, p.44, Kevin Harley), "[With] some interesting glimpses into Cohen's world...[The performances] are quite special..." (Sight and Sound, 01/01/2007, p.68, Sight and Sound Critic) |
