About the film

Good enough for government work.

What it’s about

In 1890, during the U.S. census, a man named Strindler arrives in a small Arizona town and offers money for the names of deceased Mexican workers. His proposal disrupts the community and sets off a chain of conflict.

What hooks you

Alex Cox directs and stars as Strindler, with Zander Schloss as Borracho. The film is a free adaptation of Nikolai Gogol's 'Dead Souls,' transposed to the American West. It features a cast including Merritt Crocker, Edward Tudor-Pole, Maria Robles, and Dick Rude.

Who it’s for

It is worth a look for anyone who enjoys Westerns with an offbeat, literary twist and dramas that explore moral ambiguity. It will appeal to those who like stories where a stranger's arrival unsettles a town and exposes its secrets.
