Leonard Cohen: I'm Your Man is a 2005 film by Lian Lunson about the life and career of Leonard
Cohen. It is based on a January 2005 tribute show at the Sydney Opera House titled "Came So Far

this show included Nick Cave, Jarvis Cocker, The Handsome Family, Beth Orton, Rufus Wainwright,
Martha Wainwright, Teddy Thompson, Linda Thompson, Antony, Kate and Anna McGarrigle, with Cohen's
former back-up singers Perla Batalla and Julie Christensen as special guests. The end of the film
includes a performance by Leonard Cohen and U2, which was not recorded live, but filmed
specifically for the film, in New York in May 2005.

The film premiered at the Toronto Film Festival in September 2005, and was released the same month
in Canada by Lions Gate films along with the Sundance Channel. It was subsequently released in
various other countries during 2006 and 2007. The film is distributed by Lions Gate Entertainment.
