KW-08-2016: Leonard Cohen … und DVDs. Wiederentdeckt, neu angeschaut oder gerade erschienen (Part 1). Natürlich gibt es alle aktuellen LIVE-Alben auch als DVD/ BLue Ray-Version. Hin und wieder tauchen auch aber mehr oder weniger semioffizielle DVDs als sogenannte „Docomentaries“ auf. „The Dauthers Of Zeus“ ist eine solche, die in diese Reihe mit aufzunehmen ist, 2015 erschien, aber lange in Deutschland nicht lieferbar war.

Die Produktbeschreibung der 110 minütigen in engl. Sprache gehaltenen DVD liest sich wie folgt: Despite being one of the most original composers and poets of the modern age, Leonard Cohen s muse is legendary. A man of deep and meditative thought, Cohen has always been inspired and influenced by those he is affected by – musicians, poets, writers, lovers but he has never borrowed from the work of his idols. His muse is a spiritual energy which inspires him to establish his own magical creations. This film explores the work of Leonard Cohen in conjunction with the influences that have proven most important in his life and work. From Garcia Lorca to Bob Dylan via Jacques Brel and the Dalai Lama along with many others are here shown to be the one element in Leonard s work which are constant but which remain invisible. Featuring many new interviews, rare footage and performances plus the finest yet most unusual narrative yet to grace a film on this pioneering spirit, Leonard Cohen; Daughters Of Zeus is all at once fascinating, revealing, entertaining and unique.
