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', and he has since been hailed as the first and last post-war romantic writer.
