Leonard Cohen: I'm Your Man

[barefoot serpent]

A must see for Cohen fans. This review is spot on.

In particular is the performance of If It Be Your Will by Antony.

But the true revelation in the film is Antony from Antony and Johnsons performing "If It Be Your Will." Standing awkwardly on stage, dressed in a kind of ripped fish-net shirt, face contorting uncomfortably, Antony at once owns and elevates the song to a new level. Add to that the reflections of Cohen concerning his own dealings and feelings on the definition of beauty, and you have this moment in the film that is philosophically explosive, consoling and personal-perspective challenging.

yes, yes and yes.
