Indeed, the story ofAlex Wolff as Leonard Cohen and Thea Sofie Loch Næss as Cohen’s lifelong muse Marianne in So Long, Marianne.
“Yeah, there’s a lot of tourists,” says Lund. “It looked like we would not be able to make it even until a few weeks before we started, because everything turned out to be more expensive because there are no options, no deals to negotiate. And then you have huge tourist boats coming in every single day, multiple times, for hours. They’re flooding the streets … and we’re trying to shut streets down to film.
