The Song of Names

As World War II dawned, young Britisher Martin Simmonds saw his impresario father take in Polish refugee/violin prodigy Dovidl Rapaport--and they became as close as brothers. On the eve of his professional debut, Dovidl left without a word. In middle age, Martin pursued slim clues in order to discover where his friend vanished to...and the reasons why. Affecting take on the Norman Lebrecht novel stars Tim Roth and Clive Owen as the adult Martin and Dovidl; Catherine McCormack, Stanley Townsend co-star. 113 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.
