Leonard Cohen - "I'm Your Man" Documentary

The Leonard Cohen documentary I'm Your Man officially opens this week in select sities. Moby, Martha Stewart, B-52 Fred Schneider, Christy Turlington and Ed Burns turned out last night for a New York screening of the film that doubles as a as a concert film about and tribute to the legendary singer/songwriter. Highlights include U2 playing backup band for Cohen for his performance of "Tower of Song" at New York's Slipper Room, Rufus Wainwright turning the dark "Everybody Knows" into something comedic at the Sydney Opera House in Australia, and the notoriously private Cohen divulging details about his creative process. Nick Cave, Beth Orton and Jarvis Cocker from Pulp also make appearances.
