Leonard Cohen Bird On A Wire Trailer

Originally released in 1972 and directed by filmmaker Tony Palmer, Bird on a Wire follows Cohen on his 1972 European tour. After several edits it was re-released in 1974. Like many films from the era it was thought that the original print had been lost, but in 2009 more than 290 rolls of film in rusted cans were discovered containing much of the original rushes and soundtrack of the 1972 film.
