Films and TV shows that feel like Famous Blue Raincoat by Leonard Cohen

A sleepless, wintry letter to a former friend and rival in love, weighted with jealousy, forgiveness and unresolved tenderness.

1. Jules and Jim (1962): The classic friendship tested by a shared love for one woman, told with the same wistful, forgiving tenderness.
2. Brooklyn (2015): Not a love-triangle twin, but it shares the song's quiet ache of an emigrant torn between two lives and two loves.
3. Carol (2015): Snowy New York winter, restrained longing and a letter-like emotional hush.
4. Inside Llewyn Davis (2013): Early-60s Greenwich Village folk, scruffy poetic failure and cold New York winter.
5. Heartburn (1986): A New York betrayal told with literary wit, rueful forgiveness and lingering love.
6. Hannah and Her Sisters (1986): Intertwined Manhattan loves and betrayals among close friends, seen with a mix of humor and regret.
7. Leonard Cohen: I'm Your Man (2006): A Leonard Cohen tribute concert film with Nick Cave, Rufus Wainwright and Cohen himself.
8. Mad Men (2007): Cool, elegant New York men and women hiding longing, betrayal and loneliness behind poised surfaces.
