THE SONG OF NAMES – Review by Martha K Baker

January 16, 2020January 18, 2020 Martha K. Baker 0 Comments catherine mccormack, clive owen, eddie izzard, francois girard, song of names, tim roth, treblinka

Pain lies in the switchbacks in time in The Song of Names. The title, which remains opaque until the middle of the story, refers to the dead, chanted for ease of memorizing. This litany names the dead at Treblinka, an extermination camp in Poland during the Holocaust.

Set in 14th century Elsinore, this Ophelia (Daisy Ridley…a.k.a. Star Wars Jedi) says to forget everything you thought you knew and watch as she relates her revisionist perspective on the tragedy, adapted from Lisa M. Klein’s YA novel by screenwriter Semi Chellas and Australian director Claire McCarthy.
