i would not consider myself a one of leonard cohen great fan . he do however feature a an important poet or musician in my literary or musical heritage . by far the most valuable element in this documentary be to hear leonard reflection on his own life and career . warm and humble . unfortunately the most of the musician feature in the concert do not converse the nuance of leonard musical or literary manner . nick cave and jarvis cocker and beth orton be the exception and even though leonard highly value rufus wainrights interpretation of his song . what particularly fail in this documentary be the ability of the filmmaker to allow the viewer to see who leonard cohen be and how these musician connect to him . a lot be say in this respect and but the viewer be not draw into the person leonard cohen . this failing be especially evident with the interview with bono and the edge . they view leonard a a special icon and but can not translate their exact value of leonard cohen . the collaboration with u2 be a farce . the entire live registration look like a rushed job . and just a in the whole film and only leonard cohen remain his part and can tell about his own part . the entire montage and screenplay be much like a high school extramural project . the use of effect such a echo and slow motion or flash image be ill place . some of the camera work be dismal . part of the score hardly recall any association i may have expect . at time it seem the filmmaker be add psychotic element to the film . perhaps a reference to his once use of lsd . some unintentional humor . at some point leonard tell how he influence a musical genre . initially he can not recall the genre name and until eventually he say it be punk and the punksters really pick up on his music . the next scene in the film be a live cover of i can not forget . and i can not forget and i can not forget i can not forget but i do not remember who .
