'There’s totally an audience for a music doc this rich, one about how a quiet artist, without planning to, created a song heard round the world' - OwenGleiberman
, a Journey, a Song” is a documentary about the Leonard Cohen song “Hallelujah,” and if that sounds like a lot of movie to devote to one song — well, “Hallelujah” is a lot of song. The way we think of it now, it’s epic and lovely and trancelike: a hymn cast in a pop idiom.
When he began to work on “Hallelujah,” he kept writing verses, filling notebooks with perhaps 180 of them, and the song literally took years to complete. Cohen didn’t do this with other songs. It’s as if he knew that with “Hallelujah” he wasn’t just writing a song but birthing it. Yet part of the alchemy of “Hallelujah” is that, over time, the song it turned into isn’t the one that it started out as. The song took a journey — changing,, acquiring layers of soul and enchantment.
But what about, you know, the original version by Leonard Cohen? The film captures how he sweated over the lyrics, with their waltz-like rhythm and mystery . It also chronicles how, after a long break with the composer and producer John Lissauer , Cohen then reunited with Lissauer to record “Various Positions,” the 1984 album with “Hallelujah” on it.
