the new Leonard Cohen tribute concert film, is an interesting tribute to Leonard Cohen. You get a bunch of young artists singing old Cohen songs and a new Leonard Cohen version of Leonard Cohen's Tower of Song with U2 as his backup band. What I enjoyed most about the Leonard Cohen film is the Leonard Cohen interview between the Leonard Cohen numbers. Leonard Cohen talks mostly about the creative process and the influence of cities (Montreal and New York) and friends (mostly Canadian poets that only the uber-hip will know as well as Roshi, his Zen master) on his poetry/songs. All poets -- go listen to Leonard Cohen, his wit, memory and dignity intact, his "nuggets of wisdom" are instructive and insightful.
