Of popular music’s greatest modern song-crafters, Leonard Cohen is probably the least understood and the most unheralded.
It was not until late in his life, when he toured globally and incessantly, that he got his due.
Much of Cohen's acclaim was fostered by the universal popularity of his genius song, “Hallelujah.”

There is just enough about Cohen’s fascinating life to inform that scrutiny.
For more about this incisive bit of cinema, including where it can be seen, listen to my podcast below.
