Directed by Francois Girard, The Songs of Names is based on the book of the same name by Norman Lebrecht. Jeffrey Caine wrote the screenplay. Caine is an old school screenwriter who wrote one of the James Bond movies Goldeneye, and he received an Oscar nomination for his adaption of The Constant Gardner. 

The movie stars Tim Roth and Clive Owen in an emotional detective story spread over two continents and a half-century. Beneath the film’s stunning and pulsing musical revelations, burn the horror of war and the lost souls extinguished from history.

Also starring in the movie is Jonah Hauer-King and Catherine McCormack.

I am curious about the story and might read the book before seeing the movie.
