Hallelujah: Leonard Cohen, a Journey, a Song

Closes this Thursday, August 11th!

The decades-long, shape-shifting trajectory of singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen’s internationally renowned hymn “Hallelujah” remains a story unlike anything in pop music. What began as verses written in a hotel room eventually transformed into an international anthem of melancholy; the soundtrack to tragedies, celebrations, and memorials; a musical projective covered by countless artists from different generations and musical genres. With unprecedented access to never-before-seen archival materials including Cohen’s personal notebooks, journals and photographs, performance footage, and extremely rare audio recordings and interviews, Dan Geller and Dayna Goldfine’s documentary expertly weaves together Cohen’s life through the prism of his song’s dramatic journey: from record label reject to chart-topping hit, and the moving testimonies from artists for whom “Hallelujah” has become a personal touchstone. A Sony Pictures Classics release.

Please note: Open caption screenings of the film will play on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 6pm, and Saturday at 12pm. Audio descriptions also available.
