Leonard Cohen's 1972 European Tour has a complex history. Manager Marty Machat, fearing it might be Cohen's last, asked Tony Palmer to film it. Thankfully, Cohen continued to tour, and 45 years later, our admiration for him as a poet, singer, and man remains strong. The restored film, originally made with love, brings that essence back to life, capturing Cohen's unique artistry.
