What Marianne & Leonard: Words of Love Is About
Nick Broomfield's 2019 documentary tells the story of Leonard Cohen and Marianne Ihlen, which began on the Greek island of Hydra in the early sixties. Broomfield has a particular closeness to it: he was on the island in those years and knew Ihlen himself, and rather than hiding this the documentary makes it part of the account. The film is honest in not leaving the muse myth intact. What the relationship meant for Ihlen as Cohen's fame grew, the cost of being the one left behind, and the price the island's free living exacted on the children are all spoken about plainly. The archive material is strong. Its weakness is that the room Broomfield gives his own memories at times shifts the centre. Who it's for: viewers interested in Leonard Cohen's music and in sixties counterculture. Who it's not for: anyone wanting a purely music-focused documentary, or uncomfortable with a director writing himself into the story.
