Marianne & Leonard: Words of Love

This tender and vivid documentary film tells the story of Leonard Cohen's enduring love for Marianne Ihlen, a Norwegian muse who inspired some of his most iconic songs, including "So Long, Marianne" and "Hey, That's No Way to Say Goodbye". From their early days on the Greek island of Hydra in the 1960s and 1970s to Cohen's rise as a successful musician, the film follows their relationship with an unhurried, digressive style that captures the dreamy, quasi-mythical essence of their love story. With an all-star cast, including Leonard Cohen and Marianne Ihlen, the documentary also features Judy Collins, who was a close friend of Ihlen's.
