He's Your Man.

Those who didn't get a chance to see
the 2005 documentary Leonard Cohen:
I'm Your Man when it briefly ran in
theaters have a chance to see what
they missed as the film makes its tele-
vision debut 10 p.m. Wednesday, Aug.
29, on the Sundance Channel (it also is
available on DVD).
Boasting performances by a host of
singers at a 2005 tribute concert to the
Canadian poet-singer-songwriter-phi-
losopher, the documentary also offers
an interview with the often-reticent
Cohen, whose tuneful confessions of
love, loss and betrayal continue to
haunt listeners.
Artists making appearances include
Rufus Wainwright in a stellar turn;
hipsters Nick Cave and Beth Orton;
U2's Bono; and Antony, performing
"If It Be Your Will," a song evocative of
Jewish prayer.

Leonard Cohen

Cohen, born in 1934 in Montreal to
a Jewish family, was long ago intro-
duced to Zen Buddhism and continues
to practice meditation.
In the documentary, he makes only
one reference to his Jewish upbring-
ing. "The first poetry that affected me
was in the synagogue he says, "in the
liturgy and the Bible stories, and that
would send shivers down my spine."
Leonard Cohen: I'm Your Man also
airs 4:30 a.m. Thursday, Aug. 30, and
2:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 7. Check your
local cable listings.
