"Marianne & Leonard: Words of Love" Trailer

I have been a huge fan of Leonard Cohen's music for quite some time. To anyone who has listened to Leonard's music the reason for this should be obvious. Leonard's lyrics are in a class all by themselves. They are beautiful, poetic and highly intelligent. Add to this the simple but lovely melodies that often accompanied these lyrics and the result is incredible. 

Well good news for my fellow Leonard Cohen fans, there is a new Leonard Cohen documentary coming to select theaters on July 5. This documentary is directed by Nick Broomfield (Whitney: Can I Be Me, Biggie and Tupac, Solider Girls) and will be titled Marianne & Leonard: Words of Love. It will focus on the relationship between Leonard and Marianne Iheln (the woman who inspired such songs as So Long Marianne and Bird on a Wire. Here is the preview.
