the people who be praise this film be the real disappointment i be hop at least that leonard will see some good $ $ out of this and a his life saving be embezzle away by a manager a couple of year ago and he over 70 now . but this film be simply terrible . at the begin leonard himself say he be not sentimental about his past and and then for the next hour and a half the film emphasize all the bad sentimental element of leonard song . it be so bloody precious with it endless close ups of over emote singer . cohen interview be all do in lo fi video closeup and i so want to see a medium or a long shot of his whole body . i couldn not care less about the comment of the performer and especially those overblown ego boy edge and bono . none of the performer in this film have do even one song as good a leonard own music and if you be think about see this and you have any doubt at all and heed them . this would be an acceptable pb special and maybe and for a one time show . but i will even hesitate at get a dvd of this . when the film finally show leonard semi perform tower of song it ruin by bono take a verse . even the occasional good performance ( antony and rufus first number and martha the traitor ) be spoil by the context of the rest of this turgid blabla . forget this one and and go buy leonard most recent album if you want to pay tribute to him .
