Modest ‘Voices’ sings of a boy and his war

“Mexican filmmaker Luis Mandoki’s “Innocent Voices,” which is opening next Friday in Los Angeles, is modest by design.

It’s set entirely in one small village in El Salvador caught in the crossfire of the 1980s civil war. But in its emotional power it belongs in the company of more epic films such as Volker Schlondorff’s “The Tin Drum” and Steven Spielberg’s “Empire of the Sun,” which focus on the plight of children caught in the midst of war and social upheaval.”
