Sophie Barthes's debut feature is a witty existentialist comedy about a man who needs relief from his weary soul. A playful blend of science fiction, deadpan absurdism, and sharp social satire, "Cold Souls" stars Paul Giamatti ("Sideways," "American Splendor") as an actor named Paul Giamatti who goes to physical and philosophical extremes for the sake of a role.
