Very interesting and revealing to see the psychological

Very interesting and revealing to see the psychological development of Leonard encouraged by others, then fortified by friends, the show biz scene, drugs and the 60’s Zeitgeist which - in the end - overpowered his relationship with his soul mate, Marianne. The movie, underpinned by his poetry, revealed his simple, unique talent evolving into Leonard being a one of a kind celebrity. At the same time, very sad to witness the demise of so many people caught up in a maelstrom of eventual social disintegration.

This documentary features a rather no-nonsense, apathetic style

This documentary features a rather no-nonsense, apathetic style of narration. Its somewhat traditional in style, with lots of photos of the Greek scenery, where most of the time covered in this film centered on. It has a wistful, nostalgic sense to itself - of course it does, its looking back at around 1960. I admit I'm not especially familiar with Leonard Cohen, so the story was new to me but I watched it, as I saw it recommended elsewhere and the idea of seeing a documentary set in Greece at that time appealed to me. Its a somewhat calm and sedate watch, which may mean that you'd find it boring but personally, I quite liked the sort of hazy, wistful sense the floaty music in the background emphasised. I watched it at night and I wouldn't say it was the sort of film that I had to be constantly concentrating on the whole time, in order to (if roughly) follow it, so thats a definite plus. I did feel it slightly lost its way, so to speak, in the 2nd half, in as much as the timeline became a little unclear but for what it is, its not a bad watch - its a reasonable one, although of course to get the most from it then it helps if your familiar with Leonard Cohen's music etc. I would recommend this, to anyone who finds the subject matter intriguing. Its not exactly a greatly engrossing watch for the duration but its certainly interesting enough and is an ok watch.

Really recommend this documentary-- it perfectly knocked Leonard

Really recommend this documentary-- it perfectly knocked Leonard off the pedestal I had him on and made him much more human and relatable.
