Leonard Cohen: The Poet Who Became a Monk to Escape Depression
I'm Your Man: The Life of Leonard Cohen
Sylvie Simmons' biography "I'm Your Man: The Life of Leonard Cohen" uncovers the hidden battles of the iconic singer-songwriter. Cohen wasn't just a poet and musician—he was a man fighting severe depression, who turned to Zen Buddhism, living as a monk on Mount Baldy for years. This video explores how his art was a manual for failure, his shocking financial betrayal by his manager, and his triumphant return to the stage at 73. Discover the raw humanity behind songs like "Hallelujah" and "Suzanne."
