The Song of Names
Drama/Musical. 113 min. PG-13.
An adaptation of the novel of the same name by Norman Lebrecht. As Europe erupts into WWII, 9-year-old Martin comes to love his new brother Dovidl, a highly gifted violin prodigy of the same age and recent Polish-Jewish refugee to London. But hours before Dovidl’s debut concert performance at the age of 21 he vanishes without a trace, causing shame and ruin for their family. A lifetime later, a young violinist shows a 56-year-old Martin a stylistic flourish that could only have been taught by Dovidl. This triggers Martin’s odyssey overseas in search of his lost brother, one that will lead to surprising revelations. Starring Tim Roth and Clive Owen.
