(birds chirping)
- Rarr!
(Axel Jr. shrieking)
(both laughing)
(Marianne speaking Norwegian)
- Ah, how old is he now?
- [Marianne] He's six.
- Yeah.
(water lapping)
(birds chirping)
All right, I'm gonna
ask you one more time.
What's the matter?
Leonard leaving
you or something?
- No, I mean, not
that I know of, no.
(both laughing)
Um,
it's um,
I'm pregnant again.
- Well, congratulations.
- [Marianne] Really?
- Does Leonard know?
- No.
- Why not?
- Because I know
he'd want me to
Get rid of it.
- Why?
- You know, behind all of his,
bohemian ideals or
whatever you wanna call it,
he's quite a
conservative man who
Does not want a child
that isn't Jewish.
Neither does his mother, so.
And I'll have to talk
to him, but you know,
he just has to make it and
- Make what?
If he doesn't want the child
that he can have with you,
but he wants the success
that he can have without you?
I have the address for a
pretty decent doctor in Athens,
if you want it,
just let me know.
(Axel Jr. Shouting in Norwegian)
- Oi!
- Oh, he got one. (laughing)
(Marianne speaking Norwegian)
- [Charmian] Ooh, look at him!
- [Marianne] Wow!
- Oh, he's a big guy!

(mellow upbeat music continues)
- You okay?
- No.
- No?
- No.
I wish I had some speed.
- Oh, I don't have any.
(both laughing)
Good luck.
- [Announcer] Good evening.
Please help me welcome
Canada's most promising poet
and novelist with
"Beautiful Losers,"
Mr. Leonard Cohen.
(audience applauding)
- Good evening.
Please help me welcome
Canada's most overrated poet,
(audience chuckling)
and most insufferable novelist,
with his disaster,
"Beautiful Losers,"
Mr. Leniard Curib.
(audience laughing)
""Why have you allowed
yourself to be robbed?
Why do you always
try to humiliate me?'
I asked him so solemnly
that I scared myself.
He stood up, covered the model
with a plastic Remington
typewriter cover.
He did this so gently,
with a kind of pain."
- It was fantastic.
You seduced every
fucking one of them.
- There were more people in
there than bought the book.
- This book is the book of the
year according to "The Star."
- You know, someone
else said it was,
"The most revolting book to
ever come out of Canada."
- Hm.
- 400 copies.
- Mr. Cohen?
- Mad.
- Maybe the next
time, you should-
- Mr. Cohen, can
you sign, please?
- Okay. This is from
the documentary?
- Yes.
- Do you like it?
- Oh, I love the bit where
you play guitar and sing.
- Oh, yeah? Thank you.
(background people chattering)
- You see? They love you.
Do you mind?
- That's not really
an issue. Hi.
Oh, it's perfect. Oh,
that's a great copy.
Have a great day.
Oh, thank you very much.
- I didn't see that.
- You know, I'm thinking of, um,
(soft guitar music)
singing my poems, but you
know, for money making.
- Why?
- [Leonard] It works for Dylan.
- Listen, the TV show?
They offered you to host
like an intellectual show.
There's got to be
some money in it,
and you surely want
the fame, right?
- Well, I um, I said no.
- And it's exposure.
You can sell your book.
- Right, but I, I think
I'm too ugly for TV.
That guy from CBC said
that the TV don't lie.
- You're on the hook.
- No, I'm a brilliant
failure, I don't want to.
- You're on the
hook. Look at me.
Fame, I can see it,
you're gonna be famous.
- You want fame.
I don't want fame.
Success is obscene.
- Fame.
- Maybe I'll get
back into hockey.
- [Irving] Oh, God.
- [Leonard] Well, anyhow,
thanks for coming tonight.
- Last night of the tour, of
course I would be here, Lenny.
So, what are you going to do?
You're going back
to Greece or what?
- I don't know, I don't
know that I'm, ah,
I'm much good to
anyone right now.
- Come on.
Jump in.
(car door clicking)
- No, thanks, I'm just gonna
Take a walk.
- You sure?
- Yeah.
- You're doing the
wrong thing, Lenny.
- Yeah, I am.
- You're doing the wrong thing.
- Shalom, man.

"Darling Mu, it's good
to have your letters.
I just finished
promoting the book,
which didn't sell as
I would have hoped.
Don't worry, though, I'm
taking care of myself,
and I've stopped with the pills.
As best as I can.
I'm working hard to make
money for all of us.
And I'm planning a little
trip to New York soon,
and I'll see what it can bring,
besides immense disappointment.
I'm going to give
it one more shot
before giving up on
making music entirely,
though I know it's inevitable.
The spiritual trip you plan
on doing sounds beautiful.
John Starr Cooke lives
up to his glorious name.
I'm excited to hear all
about your adventures.
I love to hear that
you and little Axel
are strong and happy.
Love, Leonard."

Suzanne ♪
- Hi, John!
(John Starr Cooke chuckling)
It's amazing.
- Please leave your bags.
- Hello.
- Hello.
- Thanks so much
for inviting us.
- Ginsberg's idea. He
says you are perfect.
- Oh.
- But that you tend
not to believe it.
- Sounds about right. (laughing)
- I am here to
work on your mind.
- Feels like I've been doing
that since I was five, but
- [John Starr Cooke] Well,
not in the way I do it.
- [Marianne] No.
- [John Starr Cooke]
Wado here is the best.
I had him flown in.
He makes the most potent
weed in the world.
- Ooh!
(John Starr Cooke
speaking Greek)
- Hi.
- [John Starr Cooke] We
have Raymond and Manuela
from London and San Diego.
- [Marianne] Hi.
- And over here,
we have Jean Paul.
He's from Paris. He's
been here a while.
- [Marianne] Hello.
(bead curtain rattling)
- Everyone!
This is Marianne and Axel.
Marianne, everybody.
- Hi.
(gasps) What?
- Now, keep your eye on him.
He will transform when
you're not looking.
(Marianne speaking Norwegian)
(mellow upbeat music)
(mellow upbeat music continues)
(mellow upbeat music continues)
(mellow upbeat music continues)
- A poet.
Really?
- I don't look like a poet?
- I mean, it's kind of hard
to hang one of your poems
on the wall in
lieu of your rent.
- Hey!
For Christ's sake, Stanley,
don't you have a vacuum
cleaner in the house?
- Yeah, of course,
we got lots of them.
- Then why aren't
they ever used?
- So, why the Chelsea?
- It's your reputation, man.
- Thank you.
- You and the hotel, you know,
I've heard you can stumble in
at four a.m. with a large,
nine-foot-tall, albino bear,
five hookers on your
arm, drunk as a skunk,
and that no one bats an eye.
But the amenities as well.
(Stanley chuckling)
- All right.
I'll put you down
for indefinitely.
- All right.
(Stanley clears throat)
What's your name,
what's your full name?
- Stanley Bard
- Okay, very nice.
- You?
- Leonard Cohen
- Leonard, welcome.
- Great, thank you.
Appreciate it.
- Right that way.
- [Leonard] Stanley,
what room is she in?
- None of your business.

- Hallucinogens don't
expand the mind,
they simply open the mind
to what is already there,
to your ah, your deeper self.
A place without deception.
- I'm ready, maybe.
(both laughing)
- So, what do you do, Marianne?
- I've been making
some clothes recently.
- Oh.
- I made this.
- Nice.
- Yeah.
Also, I'm quite a good cook,
so I've been hired sometimes
to do a bit of cooking
for tourist parties in
- Right.
- What about you,
Manuela, what do you do?
- Hm, well, I used to
be a schoolteacher.
- Oh?
- Yeah, until I realised
I hated children.
(all chuckling)
You know, one day, I
was heading to work.
I just parked outside of the
school, and thought to myself,
"Another day, gladiator-battling
these psychopathic sociopaths,
(all chuckling)
who only think
about themselves."
God!
Went and got a bag of
weed, drove to Mexico,
where I met John, and tagged
along when he came here.
- Wow! (laughing)
- Voila!
- [Marianne] Voila!
That's amazing.
- So,
what are you looking
for while you're here?
- Um, I don't know, I think
Open my mind and ah,
find my own path, maybe.
- Aren't we all?
Cheers.
- Cheers to that.
- [Marianne] Thank you
so much for having me.
(glasses clinking)

- [Lou] You're a writer, right?
- Leonard Cohen
- I've read your book.
"Beautiful Losers."
- Oh, you're the guy.
- It's a great book.
- Thank you, man, it's not
what they say in Canada.
- I'm Lou Reed.
You know my music?
- Forgive me, no, I don't.
I'm not really in the know.
- You should stop by
Judy's party tonight.
- Okay.
- It's good to meet you, man.
- Yeah, great to meet you.

Well, it's my
perspective on things.
- Do you get depressed?
- No, I'm bright
as the sunshine.
(Judy laughing)
Yeah, I don't see
a reason not to be.
- Me too.
You know, I tried to commit
suicide when I was 14.
- Well, I'm very happy
for your lack of
success in the matter.
- Yeah.
I'm Judy Collins, by the way.

I just signed with Elektra.
- Who wrote it?
- [Judy] Leonard Cohen.
- Who the hell is Leonard Cohen?
- Leonard Cohen.
- That's a terrific question.
- Okay.
- You know, I'm
playing a charity gig
in the East Village next
month, you should come play.
- Oh, no, I think it will
be very uncomfortable.
- You're not fooling anyone.
How about this?
Think about it, and I'll

It's me and Pete Seeger

- [Switchboard Operator]
This is long distance,
how may I direct your call?
(cicadas chirping)
- You know, I can
see the pain and the beauty.
I think that I realised, you
know, for all of that pain
and the beauty to become a
poem, for instance, you know,
it's not enough to just mould it
by reciting or singing
or writing a novel.
You know, you need
You need to have somebody
who is listening,
and someone who
you can give it to,
someone imagined or real.
And I know, I know
that I am showing him
just as much as
he is showing me.
- Hm.
- Oh yeah.
- I think fiction
is just a necessity
to be able to enjoy life.
It doesn't matter if you
write it down or not.
If you can't rewrite reality
in your own mind,
make it something
you can live with,
you become suicidal.
- What do you mean?
- Well, that's what
we all do, isn't it?
We take what are facts,
and
Adjust them to something
we can manage to live with.
We lie to ourselves to
make life less cruel.
- Or you don't give a fuck.
Go for complete honesty,
and just stay high. (laughing)
- [Raymond] (laughing) Yeah.
(fire crackling)
- [Manuela] Oh, man.

- I don't know where
the songs come from.
I suppose you have to
leave your channel open.
But often, you know,
something clicks,
and you feel you're in
contact with something.
- [Journalist] Hm.
- Or rather, something's
in contact with you.
- [Journalist] I like
that. Good punchline.
Thank you so much.
- Thank you. I'll
see you around, man.
The way out is the window.
- The window? I'll
remember that.
- You jump out of
the window, yeah.
- Jump? I'll go first.
- Yeah, great.
- Leonard.
Come sit over here.
- All right.
(background people chattering)

Hi, I'll just slide in.
I'm Leonard, by the way.
- Nico
- Nico.
Very nice name.
- Reminds me, actually,
of when Nico and I met.
Nico, tell the story.
(Nico speaking French)
- Like beautiful people.
You're from the
North Pole, Canada?
- Right, yeah, my mother
calls me Santa Claus.
I've got the
reindeer in room 224
if you'd like to take a ride.
- Hm,
and what do you do?
- Well, then, I just escaped
from Verdun Mental Hospital.
Has anyone ever stayed there?
I was visiting a
friend, and I asked him,
"Where can I get a coffee?"
He said, "Downstairs."
It was a hot afternoon,
I remember and I
removed my jacket,
and I left it with my friend,
who, though mentally
ill, was no thief.
But as I was downstairs
drinking my coffee,
two large men in white
uniforms come toward me.
And one of them looks
at me and he says,
"Where are you supposed
to be right now?"
I said, "In the cafeteria."
They nodded to each other.
"Yeah. Where are you
supposed to be right now?"
"In the cafeteria!"
So much so that, after
three or four times
of interrogating me, I
found that I was shouting,
and shoving them aside, and
racing down the corridor,
and they were chasing me,
and I was running upstairs.
And it wasn't until
a guard identified me
that I was allowed to
go back to my friend,
who had eaten my jacket.
(all laughing)
- It's a pleasure to make
your acquaintance, Mr
- Mr. Claus, I thought
we'd been through this.
- I'm the Easter Bunny, and
this is the Tooth Fairy.
(Leonard laughing)
- Which mythological
figure are you?
Both David and Goliath.
If you can hear me, just
don't say anything. (laughing)
- [Lou] She's Minerva,
the queen of winter.
- Queen of winter?

(John Hammond exhales heavily)
- Yeah.
You've got it.
(background people chattering)
I don't know what you
know about me, Leonard.
- Well, she told
me you signed, ah,
Dylan before he
was Mr. Bob Dylan.
- Yes, I did.
I did, I also signed Billie
Holiday, Aretha Franklin.
I signed a lot.
Mostly, I signed artists you
never heard from again, though.
But anyway, either way,
my bosses don't care
what I did yesterday.
They like to play a little game
that's a lot like
baseball, Leonard.
You're Canadian, I can
explain it to you if you like.
They hurl balls at you,
and you swing at the ones
you think are gonna be hits.
If you miss three
times, you're out.
Of course, you can choose
not to swing at them,
but if they become
hits at another label,
well, you're also out.
(background people chattering)
- How many strikes
do you have left?
- Oh, you do know the game.
I have one, Leonard, and
that's you, potentially.
I told my boss I was
thinking of signing you,
and he asked me if I
was out of my mind.
He said, "A
32-year-old poet, huh?"
- Well, I really feel
much older, if that's
any consolation.
- Oh, that's huge, yeah,
that'll help the pitch.
Listen, I like the stuff
you played me, I do.
- Thank you.
- My fear is that you don't
have enough good material.
- I agree with you completely.
I mean, I don't know if
the songs are there yet.
But I have some more
songs that I've written
that I recorded in the bathroom.
It makes my voice a
little more tolerable.
- [John Hammond]
In the bathroom?
- But I have those tapes.
- You do?
- Yeah.
- Well, let's listen to them.
- Do you mean now?
- Yes.
- Okay.
- You're at the Chelsea, yeah?
- [Leonard] Right.
- It's right around
the corner, my friend.
- So, what did he say then?
- He said that I've got it.
- You got what?
- That's what I said.
- You have talent.
That's for sure, you got talent.
- I'm not sure that's
what he was saying.
- You know, American
bullshit, bullshit.
- He said he's talking
with the record company,
and seeing if they'll sign me.
- Just wait, you'll get it.
You always get it, don't you?
- Get what?
- What you need.
You've always gotten
what you need,
in the end.
(background people chattering)
(mellow melodic music)
- [Leonard] I want to
put her in my drink.
- She's a Nazi. She's a German.
But if you absolutely
have to fuck her,
revenge our people.
- She doesn't like me, Irving,
she said I was too old.
- Oh, she's a German,
you can't trust them.
Why do you want her?
You've got Marianne.
Marianne. (laughing)
Marianne.
- Don't worry, that's what
I'm thinking of all day.
It kills me.
- Yeah.
- I try to write her,
but what, what can you say?
I feel that we need
this kind of distance.
And perhaps, it's a
grotesque justification,
but I feel we're suffocating
a beautiful butterfly.
- Oh, fucking, Jesus
fucking Christ, Lenny!
You sound like
Jane Austen.
Give me your hand.
Are you really going up there,
and sing and play in
front of an audience?
- I don't know, I said yes.
I can always smash my
guitar before I go on.
- Don't ever doubt your poetry.
Now can we get some
drugs on the table?

different planet.
I have no map here.
- What's wrong?
- [Leonard] Sorry, I'm
about to go to a theatre,
and go perform.
I'm the secret guest artist.
There are 3,000 people
waiting there for me.
I've never felt so unsure, ever,

sound like a little boy, I know,
but I'm just very, very scared.
I'm going to sing my hit.
You know, I'm going to be a hit,
and I can't even sing.
(soft orchestral music)
- I know that you can.
And this is what you
wanted, isn't it?
You can, you can be a singer.
- I don't know if I do want it.
I'm afraid that if
I walk out there,
then everything we know is gone.
(gentle orchestral music)
(audience clapping rhythmically)
I suppose I should go.
(audience clapping rhythmically)
- Mm-hm.
(Leonard breathing deeply)
- [Judy] You've all
heard my song, "Suzanne"
on my latest album, thank you.
And tonight, out of the shadows,
I brought the man who wrote
that great song, Leonard Cohen.
(audience cheering
and applauding)
(soft guitar music)
- The guitar has feathers today.
(audience members laughing)
(soft guitar music)
(soft guitar music continues)
Suzanne takes you down ♪
To her place near the river ♪
You can hear the boats go by ♪
You can spend the
night beside her ♪
And you know she's crazy ♪
That's why ♪
(gentle eerie music)
(Leonard breathing heavily)
- Everybody, ah, it's
Leonard's first time
in front of a big audience.
(Leonard breathing heavily)
(door clicking)
Let's see if we can get
him back out here again.
(muffled audience applauding)
(audience cheering
and applauding)
(Leonard breathing heavily)
(soft eerie music)
(audience cheering
and applauding)
I think I'll start
this one, shall I?
(soft guitar music)
