five-cent review #5

(reviews in five sentences or less)
Leonard Cohen I’m Your Man (DVD, 2006)

Too often tribute concerts only disappoint. But here, a host of talent – Nick Cave, Rufus and Martha Wainwright, U2, Beth Orton, Antony, Teddy Thompson – manages to illuminate the funny shattering heart at the center of each Leonard Cohen song. Cohen’s gorgeous soul-sweeping lyrics could move mountains. Even the one Bob Dylan stands upon. Compelling interviews with the wise and tender Cohen woven throughout.

I'll definitely check this out. Every time I hear a Leonard Cohen song I wish it would never end.
