Picnic in the Park with Leonard Cohen
Found a rare video of Leonard Cohen having a conversation on a park bench in Montreal!

The video is from an NFB documentary entitled "This Beggar's Description" which cronicles the ups and downs of the life of Montreal poet Philip Tétrault...
More info about the doc can be found at http://www.nfb.ca/collection/films/fich ... &v=h&lg=en

That was different. Thanks.
Poetry is just the evidence of life. If your life is burning well, poetry is just the ash.

Re: Picnic in the Park with Leonard Cohen
This is brillent stuff it shows that Leonard has Heart and soul and body and is a real fun guy .We are so lucky that the man is willing able and capable to let us see that he is not wrapped in ctton wool It is my dream to meet the Man in person .I said after the Saturday night concert in Dublin Ireland " I can now die having seeing the man live " But alas no I want to meet the Man because he does it for me .He is sharp dapper and a gentlman .The maybe I will be able to shake off this mortal coil

Re: Picnic in the Park with Leonard Cohen
I do and I made a copy for Jarkko. We discussed this movie a long time ago.
Re: Picnic in the Park with Leonard Cohen
Yep, I got copy from Jarkko (thanks Anne ). It's worth seeing, particularly if you're interested in poetry.
