For his directorial swan song, Alex Cox (REPO MAN) stars in this frontier fable of American greed. The Western fits storied filmmaker Cox as snugly as the black bowler hat he wears throughout DEAD SOULS, a loose adaptation of Nikolai Gogol’s 1842 novel of the same name. A meditative, sincere landscape at the borderlands of the American nightmare: where fortunes rest on a dirty deal, and legacies are built on blood and gold.
