broadcasts without glitz
clarity… simplicity…
black and white footage 🦊❤️
I recently saw the wonderful documentary “Hallelujah” which was about Leonard Cohen and his lifelong writing of new verses of the song, “Hallelujah”. I was particularly struck by the great b&w footage of Cohen being interviewed on various broadcasts. It seemed to me that the plain, simple sets and backgrounds really added impact to the interviews. Maybe it is the absence of glitz getting in the way of listening. Maybe the interviewers were more interviewers than entertainers. Maybe it was just Cohen’s way and words. Or maybe simply my longing for “imagined” simpler days. Regardless, it is a movie well worth seeing. 🦊❤️
