Leonard Cohen is the subject of the new documentary Marianne & Leonard: Words of Love, and with the film now set for a wide release, we're getting a proper glimpse via a new trailer.

The doc centres on the late Canadian icon's decades-long relationship with muse Marianne Ihlen, who inspired Cohen classics such as "So Long, Marianne."

As you'll see with the newly revealed trailer, Cohen himself leads the way, poetically telling us, "When trying to learn some things about love. When your woman becomes her own content, and you become her content, that's love."

The film comes at the hands of director Nick Broomfield, who's previously helmed such films as Whitney: Can I Be Me and the infamous Kurt & Courtney.

Following a premiere at Sundance earlier this year, Marianne & Leonard: Words of Love is now set to hit theatres on July 5.
