Tribute documentary to the singer-songwriter, with performances of his songs by guest artists and interviews with some of the participants (including Cohen).
This is more of a horror show than a documentary. The style of the performers is so at odds with Cohen's calm style that one wonders what the criterion was for their choice -- the only two exceptions being the guy who sang Tonight Will Be Fine -- I don't know his name -- and Cohen himself at the end singing Tower of Song. The interviews with the guest stars are absurd -- their stories and praises are irrelevant. Cohen as a little boy riding his tricycle seems to bear a special meaning -- it is repeated over and over -- which escaped me.
I won't rate this one.
