The Song of Songs

1973 · 1 season

A quiet, searching British drama that lingers on music and memory, asking patience but rewarding it with ache.

Overview: A woman's quest to find her composer father, who disappeared when she was a child, leaving as a legacy only a tantalizing piece of music, a setting of the Song of Solomon.
How it feels: Melancholic, earnest, romantic and tense. Slow-burning and needs your attention.
About: Memory, family, identity, grief
Content: Mild sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
