(Sony Pictures Classics, May 25, 2022) SYNOPSIS: HALLELUJAH: Leonard Cohen, A Journey, A Song is a definitive exploration of singer-songwriter [former Zen Buddhist monk and great JewBu] Leonard Cohen as seen through the prism of his internationally-renowned hymn “Hallelujah.”
This feature-length doc weaves together three creative strands: the songwriter and his times, the song’s dramatic journey from record label reject to chart-topping hit, and moving testimonies from major recording artists for whom “Hallelujah” has become a personal touchstone.
Next doc: Famous Blue Raincoat, A Jam, a Tune?
Approved for production by Leonard Cohen just before his 80th birthday in 2014, the film explores a wealth of never-before-seen archival materials from the Cohen Trust including Cohen’s personal notebooks, journals, and photographs, performance footage, and extremely rare audio recordings and interviews.
Directed by Dan Geller and Dayna Goldfine. Selections: Venice Film Festival, Telluride Film Festival, Tribeca Film Festival, and more. Featuring: Leonard Cohen, Jeff Buckley, John Cale, Brandi Carlile, Eric Church, Judy Collins, Bob Dylan, Glen Hansard, Sharon Robinson, Rufus Wainwright, and many others. #Hallelujah#LeonardCohen#SonyClassics
