Title: Hallelujah: Leonard Cohen, A Journey, A Song

Review: The story of the most recorded song in history and its brilliant and complex maker is a fantastic journey. If you don’t know much about Leonard, don’t miss this chance; one of eh most iconic figures of our times. If you already know the man, just sit back and enjoy. Scrupulously done with great and insightful commentary and spectacular music. Leonard was on a different plain and this song that he spent somewhere between 7-9 years composing (with ultimately as many as 70 verses) reflects the man and his muse in every way. The early footage of him will make you speculate if he was not Pacino’s inspiration for Michael Corleone. I have loved this man for years, and that only grew after watching this……and I mean love, not like, love. The film has won all kinds of awards and is around at art houses if you can catch it, but we got the local library to get it for us on DVD. Hallelujah!
