{"product_id":"9780857306395","title":"Dead Souls : The Screenplay","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn Ace Double paperback featuring the screenplay to Alex Cox's 'last' film - Dead Souls - plus the original Nikolai Gogol text.    Dead Souls, directed by and starring Alex Cox, is a surreal, lean, meditative, low-budget Spaghetti Western adaptation of Nikolai Gogol's classic novel, transposed to the 19th-century American West, that feels both literary and rebellious.    The film follows Strindler (Alex Cox), a conniving preacher buying up names of deceased Mexicans, blending political satire on greed and corruption with meta-humour, stop-motion, and musical numbers.    The story mirrors Gogol's original novel, set in a dusty, morally bankrupt frontier town where Strindler travels, collecting the names of 'dead souls' to gain power and money.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rye Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55731943833976,"sku":"9780857306395","price":16.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0064\/1368\/0730\/files\/9780857306395.jpg?v=1794263945","url":"https:\/\/ryebooks.co.uk\/products\/9780857306395","provider":"Rye Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
