Synopsis: A gifted poet turned master singer-songwriter whose influence rivalled Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen remains a timeless musical pioneer. This compelling, critical documentary examines the poetry, music, performances and career of this great artist, focusing on the seminal albums Cohen created for Columbia between 1967-77, from Songs of Leonard Cohen (featuring "Suzanne,") to Death of a Ladies' Man (produced and co-written by Phil Spector). An array of prominent musicians, producers, and influential rock critics discuss Cohen, his melodies, lyrics and inimitable voice, all intercut with rare photos, music excerpts and live concert footage of classic songs from on songs from "Bird on a Wire" to "Famous Blue Raincoat".
