Bono, Burlesque Girl and Leonard Cohen.We have added some stills from the forthcoming movie Leonard Cohen I'm Your Man.Since bursting onto the scene in 1967, Leonard Cohen has inspired generations with his unique personality and haunting music, becoming one of the most original and enduring artists to emerge from the 1960s. Now, Lions Gate is proud to celebrate Cohen’s legacy with director Lian Lunson’s Leonard Cohen I'm Your Man, an intimate look at the songs, poetry and life of one of music’s most celebrated and influential troubadours.

In January, 2005, Lunson traveled to Sydney to film the historic “Came So Far For Beauty” show, a tribute to Leonard Cohen at the Sydney Opera House organized by famed music producer Hal Willner. Leonard Cohen I'm Your Man includes behind-the-scenes interviews and live performances from this event by Nick Cave, Rufus Wainwright, Kate & Anna McGarrigle, Martha Wainwright, Beth Orton, Linda Thompson, Teddy Thompson, Jarvis Cocker, The Handsome Family, Julie Christensen and Perla Battala, as well as a special performance of “Tower of Song” by Cohen and U2. And in a series of candid interviews, Cohen himself reveals his trademark wry humor and soulful intensity, using his own artwork, poetry and personal collection of photographs to reflect upon his colorful past and his creative process. Leonard Cohen I'm Your Man is directed by Lian Lunson, produced by Lian Lunson and Mel Gibson, and executive produced by Erik Nelson, Kevin Beggs and Sandra Stern.Access media from the movie.
