The song Long sound, Marianne Leonard Cohen's The Love Song has transcended as one of the most beautiful love songs in music and has elevated the name of Marianne Ihlen to one of the great inspirations of the author's creative process. However, this is the simple and idealized version of the relationship between the two. In 2020, director Nick Broomfield broke this mystical aura surrounding the couple with a splendid documentary. Marianne & Leonard: Words of love He did justice to Marianne, who had been reduced to a muse adored by the great poet of music. He gave her the personality that had been lent to her and made evident the toxicity that surrounded the bond between them. The resulting portrait, through archive images and witnesses, is raw and revealing. Neither life on the Greek island of Hydra nor the stages of the couple's reunion were a postcard of happiness and unconditional love.
