Wonderful and touching portrait of a unique voice

I am not a Leonard Cohen fan myself although I do love many of his songs, but even for the non fans this documentary could be worth the watch, because of the delightful, pleasant person that Leonard Cohen is as a humanbeing next to being gifted with a wonderful, unique voice and and an even bigger talent for writing songs that the most legendary, biggest musicians of this world have copied and praised.

With a particular attention to one song "Hallelujah" this documentary about the life of Leonard Cohen is an easy, pleasant watch, with many surprises for those who are not very familiar with his music.

What a voice. What terrific songs. What a man!
