Editor's review
As modern song's best fit for the word "troubadour," Cohen has inspired legions of moody folk-rock quills. These covers from the new Cohen tribute film chart that influence: Nick Cave has always done a pitch-perfect Cohen, while Rufus Wainwright thankfully won't curb his own operatics.
Biography
Songwriter. Poet. Counter-culture icon. Consummate ladies' man. Since bursting onto the scene in 1967, Leonard Cohen has inspired generations with his unique personality and haunting music, becoming one of the most original and enduring artists to emerge from the 1960's. Now, Lions Gate is proud to celebrate Cohen's legacy with director Lian Lunson's LEONARD COHEN I'M YOUR MAN, an intimate look at the songs, poetry and life of one of music's most celebrated and influential troubadours.
In January, 2006, Lunson traveled to Sydney to film the historic "Came So Far For Beauty" show, a tribute to Leonard Cohen at the Sydney Opera House organized by famed music producer Hal Willner. LEONARD COHEN I'M YOUR MAN includes behind-the-scenes interviews and live performances from this event by Nick Cave, Rufus Wainwright, Kate & Anna McGarrigle, Martha Wainwright, Beth Orton, Linda Thompson, Teddy Thompson, Jarvis Cocker, The Handsome Family, Julie Christensen and Perla Battala, as well as a special performance of "Tower of Song" by Cohen and U2. And in a series of candid interviews, Cohen himself reveals his trademark wry humor and soulful intensity, using his own artwork, poetry and person a collection of photographs to reflect upon his colorful past and his creative process.
Sure to please both diehard Cohen fans and the newly initiated, Lunson's film is a beautiful record of captivating music, and an intimate portrait of a truly singular artist. LEONARD COHEN I'M YOUR MAN is directed and produced by Lian Lunson, and executive produced by Mel Gibson, Erik Nelson, Kevin Beggs, and Sandra Stern.
The soundtrack CD
The soundtrack CD features powerful performances of Cohen masterpieces by an outstanding array of today's top singer-songwriters. The tracks on the CD were recorded live at Hal Willner's "Came So Far For Beauty: An Evening of Leonard Cohen Songs", at the Brighton Dome as part of the Brighton Festival 2004 and at the Sydney Opera House as part of the Sydney Festival 2005, except "Tower of Song" featuring Leonard Cohen and U2.
