"Leonard Cohen I'm Your Man" film
I was just going with what you said on Hydra, when you declined to join us in going to see his house, Anne; saying you weren't going to stalk him. We said, "We're just going to see his house ." I don't think you could stalk a house, could you?
Meanwhile, I've seen some really good lentil soup recipes, lately, since its arisen as a topic here.
I wouldn't do stalking well, either; though, I think I'd make a fair detective.

After supper at Le Papillon, worked there, take him to the Horseshoe, or Grossmans. Then in the morning take him for breakfast/brunch at The Bagel, if you are too late for brunch go to the Goof in the Beaches for North American Chinese, good hangover food. I haven't been to TO since '98, left in 1992. These places I am sure have changed, if they still exist.

I would have liked to go to the Festival in Toronto, visited there for a week in 1998, but sadly couldn't afford to do a last minute trip there now. I have consoled myself with a super cheap flight to Paris (France) instead for 4 days I will however be thinking about you lucky people in Toronto, and hope the film goes to dvd very soon.
It is every year. http://www.e.bell.ca/filmfest/2005/home.asp I can't imagine how people choose the films they wan to see. It would be a good time.

If only I would know for sure that he is happy with him being back on Boogie Street (and it is not a case of "I swept the marble chambers but you sent me down below") I would find all this terrific.
While you are there, I heard that La Neuvaine is really great. "A masterful and profoundly moving exploration of personal faith, especially when challenged by loss and death." Very LC's themes, those, loss and death. BE is an anthropologist and his fiction is always, you know, in touch with real people.
P.S. : Margaret, sounds great! Four days in Paris an a DVD of the man. Anytime.

I work in film distribution and have been attending Toronto International Film Festival for the past 13 years. This documentary already has a distributor: Lions Gate Films. It is scheduled for release in U.S. in October. I don't know when it will be shown in the rest of the world - but I'm sure it will. I can't wait to see it - will go to the"press and Industry" screening.
(I also lived on Hydra off and on for 3 years (1973-1976)and I've visited there every 1-2 years since)

The film is not being shown at the Atlantic Film Fesatival afterall. Jazz I will never undersatnd film distribution Maybe it is not there because they want to give it a Canadian premier in Toronto? I can understand that.
A short film I did continuity on is being shown, Blowies it is a comedy about the Canadian syncronized snow blowing team. http://www.herenb.com/saintjohn/issues/0608/cover.html near the bottom. A film by another co-op member is being shown, Gretchen Kelbah, I know I spelled her name wrong, hers is feature length. She recieved permission to use a Leonard Cohen poem and song in her film. I was gob smacked when she told me about this. I'm going to make her show me the contract!!

Welcome to the Forum, Jazz . Every one to two years sounds like the ideal pattern for returning to visit Hydra. You were originally there during very interesting and unique times.
When you say "this film," are you referring to the one about Leonard or La Neuvaine. It seems your comment could be in either direction.

Lizzietish - I was referring to the Leonard doc: "Leonard Cohen: I'm Your Man." Toronto is also showing an older doc.: "Ladies and Gentleman: Mr. Leonard Cohen."
I've put both in my screening schedule. Since I get an "industry" pass- I get to go to all the Press and Industry screenings -I've seen so many good movies that way.
And when you say the time I lived on Hydra (1973-1976) was "unique and interesting" believe me - that's an undertatement! It was like Paris in the 30's - San Francisco in the 60's - it was magic.

Yes.....I believe it. I can even almost imagine it. I know the magic I felt. Yet, it's still so much better hearing these dynamic comparisons from you !And when you say the time I lived on Hydra (1973-1976) was "unique and interesting" believe me - that's an undertatement!

You've been in a privileged position with your access to films. As the Brits would say, good on you . I can see that you truly appreciate it.
