THEIR STORY
crosses the world, travelling from Norway to Greece, New
York and Montreal, with the majority of the series filmed on the
picturesque Greek island of 
Hydra where they lived during the 1960s.
There, they joined legendary Australian novelists Charmian Clift and her
husband George Johnston, the matriarch and patriarch of a bohemian
group of writers, artists, poets, and 
outcasts who were exploring a new
world of free love, drugs, and artistic freedom, but also experiencing

I know the love story of Leonard Cohen, whom I like and appreciate very much, mainly for his lyrics. I have to see this movie.
ReplyDeleteI must admit I have never heard any of his songs, must check it out over at YouTube.
DeleteLove his Hallelujah! Didn't know he was a poet too.
ReplyDeleteThe famous Hallelujah is his or is it some other one?
DeleteIt is his. I know his name and this song, but that's about all that I know about him.
DeleteThen it is the same here with me LOL
DeleteThe upcoming series So Long, Marianne sounds like a captivating journey through one of the most intriguing chapters in Leonard Cohen's life. The story of Cohen and his muse Marianne Ihlen, set against the backdrop of 1960s Hydra, promises to blend romance with the vibrant, sometimes turbulent world of bohemian artistry.
ReplyDeleteThe trailer has certainly piqued my interest! With its star-studded cast including Alex Wolff as Leonard Cohen and Thea Sofie Loch Næss as Marianne Ihlen, it seems like it will offer a deep, nuanced portrayal of their relationship and the artistic circles they were a part of. The picturesque Greek island of Hydra, along with other locales like New York and Montreal, adds an extra layer of allure and authenticity to their story.
I’m particularly excited to see how the series explores the bohemian lifestyle and the complex dynamics within this creative community. With a mix of romance, artistic passion, and personal struggles, So Long, Marianne is definitely on my watchlist!

Hope you will manage to catch it somewhere in your country.
DeleteI do like a good romance story and this looks beautifully done. Adding to my watch list.
ReplyDeleteThe setting is certainly lovely, even though I currently hate Greece due to the book I am translating LOL
DeleteAs someone else said, the first thing that popped into my mind when I saw his name was Hallelujah song. Such a pretty song.
ReplyDeleteI have heard if a few times in The Voice.
