directed by: François Girard, year: 2019
actors: Tim Roth, Clive Owen

An intimate, time-spanning drama about memory, guilt, and the price of secrets. François Girard's The Song of Names follows two childhood friends whose lives fracture after a prodigy's disappearance, only to collide again decades later as investigators of art, identity, and history. Set against postwar Europe and the evolution of a vanished violinist's legend, the film probes how art preserves the past even when memory cannot, and how forgiveness might be found through sound.
