Made in 1965, this film provides a portrait of the young Leonard Cohen when he was on the brink of pop stardom. Cohen's first poetry collection had been published in 1956, but it was ' The Spice Box of Earth' which made him famous in 1961. Two years after this film was made, Cohen found success with his first album, ' The Songs of Leonard Cohen', & he has since been hailed as the first & last post-war romantic writer.
