But, he says, she “wasn’t someone to feel sorry for herself”.Indeed, while her experience in New York left a bitter taste, Ihlen said later of her time with Cohen: “This relationship was a gift to me. She and Leonard were never married although he did sometimes refer to her as his wife. Leonard Cohen On Suzanne Elrod: “She’s the mother of my children, a good mother to them, and whether or not we continue to live apart, this will always be my marriage.” September 26, 2019 October 1, 2019 Allan Showalter Sorry, your blog cannot share posts by email. It was about as far from being a folk singer’s muse as it’s possible to conceive. With her son, Marianne moved into a run-down apartment in Clinton Street. It was quite hard for me to embrace this enormous world. He says she was instrumental in pushing him to make his first film, Broomfield, whom I’ve known for a couple of decades, says Ihlen remained in love with Cohen.
She was very close to A year earlier, on Hydra, Ihlen had met the great documentary-maker Remarkably, Pennebaker’s son managed to dig out the film he shot on Hydra in 1967 and send it to Broomfield during the editing process. Nonetheless, the film also picks up on her discomfort at her role as facilitator rather than creator.Helle Goldman, the translator of Ihlen’s biography, “It’s a silly thing to say, but the fact that she was from a very early age defined as a male artist’s muse did handicap her for a while,” says Goldman. It did not turn out well for them.”Though Ihlen retained a connection to Hydra, returning each year, her residency came to an abrupt end in 1972 when a young woman carrying a baby knocked on the door of the house she had shared with Cohen. It was hailed as a romantic classic of eternal love. It’s delivered with warmth and irony, but it also speaks of a painful truth.There were stints together on Hydra, in Montreal and, most unhappily, in New York.
26 Jul 2019, 16:17; ... Around this time Cohen had met artist Suzanne Elrod, who was 11 years his junior, supposedly at a Scientology class. Goldman doesn’t believe that Ihlen ever saw her situation through any kind of feminist lens. They … “She was the life and soul of the party,” he recalls, “and she made me promise to go to Hydra when I got off the boat.”He kept the promise and encountered a captivating new world. “But I think Leonard always gave her the credit that was her due.”It was out of a desire to rebalance the image of the couple, he says, that he put Ihlen’s name first in the title. “There was this incredible community of artists and painters and a whole very wild attitude to life,” he says in his trademark languorous drawl, located somewhere between the home counties and southern California.At the heart of this liberating idyll was a beautiful woman 13 years his senior, the mother of an eight-year-old boy. At that time, he had no thought of becoming a musician.Ihlen, still only just 25, was deeply in love. As for a later girlfriend, Suzanne Elrod, “the word ruthless is the word that comes to mind. “It wasn’t a sexist issue, but a human one, of how to define herself.”One definition that weighed on her was that of single mother. Joni Mitchell once called Cohen a “boudoir poet” and for all his manners and sensitivity, he was incapable of turning down the wealth of opportunities that came his way. Ihlen would look back on Summerhill and the periods that her son spent in Norway without her with deep regret.Goldman believes that if Axel’s difficulties were environmental, they probably had more to do with Hydra: “You have to understand that the kids that stayed on the island became very messed up later. Initially, he wrote himself out of the narrative, but it’s an interlude that deserves its place in the story. But, pretty and alluring as the island was, it required labour to live there. The incursion is subtly handled in the film, with the Englishman deliberately minimising his part so as not to distract from the romance at the centre of the film. According to Broomfield, who met Cohen several times, the singer wanted to have Jewish children, something that Ihlen accepted, though he thinks it was an enormous disappointment to her that they didn’t have a child. Cohen kept her at a distance, informing her that the Chelsea hotel wasn’t “her scene”.“I think it was a very harrowing experience for her,” says Broomfield.Few of those who gathered on Hydra emerged with their art enhanced or lives more sortedIt marked the end of the affair and equally, as the 1960s came to a close, the end of an era. What can one say??? Two long stays on Hydra produced two novels, To be a tortured singer-songwriter in the mid-1960s with Cohen’s saturnine good looks and quietly penetrating personality was not a set of circumstances to advance the cause of fidelity. It was the first of many estrangements to come. One night, she was mugged on the doorstep. . . But with Marianne and Leonard they had a long and meaningful afterlife in their own thoughts, in his songs and now in Broomfield’s richly poignant elegy. And a gift for Leonard, I might also add, not to underestimate myself completely.”The person who most struggled with the dislocation and uncertainty that their life together brought was Ihlen’s son, Axel Jnr.
The real version is a little more economical but no less touching.

In the film, the magical sense of possibility this brightly coloured jewel of the Saronic Gulf offered up to visitors is captured in glittering footage from the period.As Cohen later recalled: “It was as if everyone was young and beautiful and full of talent – covered with a kind of gold dust.

The couple had a tempestuous relationship, with the writer determined to reject bourgeois conventions in ways that conveniently coincided with his interest in other women. He was sent to board at Summerhill, the experimental school in Suffolk. As he grew older, he developed psychiatric problems and has subsequently spent a large part of his life in and out of institutions.
