HALLELUJAH: Leonard Cohen
Friday evening, January 5, 2024 Caroline and I had the opportunity to view the first film in FLICC’s January Documentary Series:– “HALLELUJAH: Leonard Cohen” at the Carroll Arts Center in Westminster at 91 West Main Street, Sponsored by: JeannieBird Baking Company.
HALLELUJAH: Leonard Cohen, A Journey, A Song. According to a review on the Carroll Arts Council website, “is a definitive exploration of singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen as seen through the prism of his internationally renowned hymn, ‘Hallelujah.’
“This feature-length documentary 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.
Approved for production by Leonard Cohen just before his 80th birthday in 2014, the film accesses 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. It was released in 2021; the screening time was: 1 h 58 m; It is rated PG-13.
