Cold Souls

Paul Giammati (as Paul Giammati) goes to a "soul storage" facility to lighten his metaphysical burden until he can make it through a performance of Uncle Vanya. The movie then follows his struggles with conscience -- and the fact that without a soul he's a really terrible actor -- through episodes both serious and hilarious.

I really have a soft spot for these kind of indie Vonnegut-esque sci-fi films. Reality as it is today, just with a slight twist, and a great cast and script to back it up. The direction and writing is really top notch, especially for a first film. And while the pacing drags just a tiny bit in the middle, the pacing overall is pretty tight, and a fantastic story easily makes this a must see.
