HALLELUJAH: Leonard Cohen, a Journey, a Song
Leonard Cohen Family Trust/Sony Pictures Classics
The documentary “Hallelujah: Leonard Cohen, a Journey, a Song” traces Cohen’s six-decade career wrestling with faith, love and mortality. The film will be screened at 7 p.m. Feb. 14 at Old Dutch Church, 272 Wall St. in Kingston, as part of the Movies With Spirit community film series.
This definitive exploration of Leonard Cohen follows his six-decade search through music, poetry and spiritual practice — and the relentless craft that turned a rejected album track into a global anthem.
The film uses the song “Hallelujah” as a lens on Cohen’s life — how he worked, how he lived and how seriously he took the act of making art.
You see him on stage, in interviews and through reflections from Judy Collins, John Cale, Jeff Buckley, Rufus Wainwright and others for whom the song became a personal touchstone.
“Majestic, almost symphonic,” Joe Morgenstern writes in The Wall Street Journal.
