About: Cold Souls. Imagine life's stress is weighing you down. You find an advertisement for a business that offers to extract and store your soul with the promise it will temporarily alleviate your suffering. Would you do it? As an actor in the middle of taking on a grueling role, Paul Giammatti, in true-to-life pathological form, reluctantly gives it a tryhis only caveat that his soul not be stored in Jersey. Unfortunately, as with so many trades dealing in precious valuables, a thriving black market has arisen, so it's almost expectedand amusingly surrealwhen Giammati discovers his soul has been smuggled into Russia for a lackluster soap actress, no less, who suddenly displays Giammati's fine acting chops.
