OPL – Centennial Branch presents Ladies and Gentlemen, Mr. Leonard Cohen

Before he became an internationally beloved singer/songwriter, Leonard Cohen was living a reclusive life as a poet, occasionally touring for his book releases. This critically acclaimed portrait captures his life at age 30 while on a visit to his hometown of Montreal, where he reads his poetry to an enthusiastic crowd, strolls the streets, and relaxes in his three-dollar-a-night hotel room.

A true treasure from the early days of the NFB, this is a celebration of a Canadian legend that offers a unique perspective on his art, his personal life, and his vision for the world.
