Editorial Review:
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. Featuring his official biographer Ira Nadel; Cohen producers John Lissauer David Gold and John Simon journalists Robert Christgau [Village Voice] Anthony De Curtis [Rolling Stone] and Nigel Williamson [Uncut] authors Johnny Rogan and Jim Devlin and many others.System Requirements:Running Time: 120 minutesFormat: DVD AUDIO Genre: MUSIC DVD/LIVE PERFORMANCES UPC: 823564513591 Manufacturer No: SIDVD540
Under Review: 1978 - 2006 Reviews:
Well done piece of work 
2008-09-30 - Maybe too much information for some, but I found it an excellent background on a song-writer poet I much admire.
One for obsessive fans 
2008-09-04 - 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.
