    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.

      The famous Hallelujah is his or is it some other one?

      It is his. I know his name and this song, but that's about all that I know about him.

    The 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.

    The 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!

    As someone else said, the first thing that popped into my mind when I saw his name was Hallelujah song. Such a pretty song.
