Cold Souls
1 October, 2009
Paul Giamatti is unfailingly brilliant. The internalization and expression of the concept of soullessness, other-soul’ed-ness, and re-soul’ed-ness is something I think only he could manage. Sophie Barthes hit all the right notes in her feature length debut. The film is not flawless but it is incredibly moving and a whole hell of a lot of fun.
Projection at the Lyric Cinema Cafe gets another F, though. Shaky all the way through. Good thing the movie is so strong that it can withstand distracting projection.
