Hot Docs: Ladies and Gentlemen--Mr. Leonard Cohen (60th anniversary)

Should you be around over the December holidays--we can fit in ONE last outing!

A 60th anniversary screening of this documentary.

Ticket link is below. $10-$15 per ticket

This Genie Award–winning documentary follows a 30-year-old Leonard Cohen on a visit to his hometown of Montreal. Before he was the celebrated musician, Cohen was a poet and a novelist. This NFB documentary casually observes Cohen in his daily routine: he bathes, he gets a haircut, he delivers a reading before an audience. As he goes about his day, a portrait emerges of a thoughtful, perceptive and soulful man. (This documentary is 45 mins)

Screening with:
