With Song of Names, acclaimed filmmaker François Girard has fashioned an emotionally devastating tale of family, friendship, and ambition, constructed like a detective story. Featuring Tim Roth and Clive Owen, it tells the story of a man searching for his childhood best friend—a Polish violin prodigy orphaned in the Holocaust—who vanished decades ago on the night of his first public performance. Played the Toronto Film Festival.
