The Samuel Goldwyn Company has acquired the US distribution rights to
Cold Souls. The film is written and directed by Sophie Barthes and stars Paul Giamatti as himself.
In the film, Giamatti plays an actor that during an existential crisis decides to explore "soul extraction" as a relief from the burdens of daily life.
Sundance programmer Caroline Libresco says of Cold Souls:
"Sophie Barthes’s debut feature is strikingly original, not only for its haunting concept but for its poetic execution. Inspired production design and lyrical cinematography create a melancholic, heightened world. Perfectly cast, Giamatti and a gifted ensemble maneuver seamlessly through shifting ontological landscapes without ever betraying the surrealism. With this dazzling accomplishment, Barthes establishes herself as an auteur to reckon with."
