This definitive exploration of the singer-songwriter and poet's creative life and career, tells Cohen's story through the prism of this internationally renowned song, with its ever-evolving lyrics and creative interpretations.
It took Leonard Cohen a decade to write Hallelujah, but his first recording became a record-label reject, rescued from obscurity by other artists and, over time, catapulted to iconic status through artists and mediums that Cohen could never have predicted. This memorable film accesses a wealth of never-before-seen archive materials from the Cohen Trust, including Cohen’s personal notebooks, journals and photographs, performance footage, and extremely rare audio recordings and interviews.
