Do the spirits of the recently departed hang around to watch over those they left behind? It's a question that Oliver Assayas pointedly refuses to answer in his supernatural mystery "Personal Shopper," leaving the viewer to draw their own conclusions by the intriguingly ambiguous ending. While it's a film that will madden people who like everything spelled out for them, it provides plenty to chew on for those who like to puzzle things out for themselves. Even so, the conclusions you arrive at will likely be influenced by your own beliefs or unanswered questions about the supernatural and the afterlife.
One thing we can say for certain is that the film provides an excellent showcase for Kristen Stewart. It has been fascinating to watch how she and her "Twilight" co-star Robert Pattinson have developed since playing their breakthrough roles in the dreary five-part adaptation of Stephanie Meyer's sappy teen vampire saga.

"You probably thought you'd drop dead peacefully in your sleep... And then, this happens?" More zombies! An official UK trailer has debuted for a new French zombie film titled The Night Eats The World, from first-time director Dominique Rocher. The plot involves a man who ends up at a party at his ex-girlfriend's place, only to wake up and discover he's alone and the rest of the people in Paris have turned into zombies. He has somehow survived unharmed overnight, and now must figure out how to survive and what to do next. Not the most original zombie plot, but this film does look pretty cool. Anders Danielsen Lie stars, along with Golshifteh Farahani, Denis Lavant, Sigrid Bouaziz, and David Kammenos. This doesn't look as scary as it does wild and entertaining, which makes me want to watch it more. Always more zombies. Here's the UK trailer (+ French poster) for...

Trying to find proof her brother is communicating with her from beyond the grave she hires herself out to investigate houses that may hold the key to an experience with the dead. When she is communicated though, is the from beyond the grave or something much more alive?

The fact is though, there is a good reason for it. Weighed down by not only a job she feels uncomfortable in, but also a foot in the world of the dead,...

Chicago – I’ve had a deep fascination with ghost stories since I was a kid. There is something both interesting and terrifying knowing that there are often unseen forces we could be encountering in our everyday life. Olivier Assayas creates an unexplainable phantasm thriller in “Personal Shopper” that remains completely captivating throughout even if you don’t understand what you just experienced.
Rating: 3.0/5.0
There is an unmistakable style that permeates from all of Olivier Assayas’ projects. There is an effortless naturalism that is ever present in his films, whether it comes from the performances or the physical locations. In the absorbing film “Clouds of Sils Maria,” Assayas explores the shifting role of nature as both the geographical force and the more human aspects of it when it comes to aging. Everything is tied together beautifully and made into complementary metaphors that apply to both the people and the places. “Personal Shopper...

It has long been apparent that Kristen Stewart is a future Academy Award winner, not just a surefire nominee one day. Part of the double edged sword that you have with her output is that post Twilight, she’s been almost determined to stick to challenging independent fare. Cinephiles are obviously lucking out, but a lot of her work is flying under the radar. As such, she remains on the outside looking in, for now. This week, another indie featuring a stupendous turn from Stewart hits theaters in Personal Shopper. It’s a flawed film and not for everyone, but she is absolutely great in it. As such, if she keeps showcasing her talents in this way, it might take time before the Academy notices. At the same time, if these smaller movies continue to have top notch Stewart performances in them, Oscar could take heed anyway before long. The...

This sorta-horror film deals with a young women who is haunted by a ghost through text messages (seriously).

The cast includes Lars Eidinger, Sigrid Bouaziz, Anders Danielsen Lie, Ty Olwin, Hammou Graia, Nora Van Waldstatten, and Benjamin Biolay.

If we were to bestow the title of The Queen of New York Film Festival, it would certainly go to Kristen Stewart. (Although Isabelle Huppert is a strong second choice.) With three films at the festival, this generation’s best actress (at least according to Olivier Assayas) continues to prove her talents. Her latest film with the director, the ghost story Personal Shopper, finds her reeling from the death of her brother. Ahead of a March release, IFC Films has now released the first U.S. trailer.
We said in our review, “After Clouds of Sils Maria, Personal Shopper confirms Olivier Assayas as the director most adept at drawing the best out of Kristen Stewart. Here she follows in the footsteps of Maggie Cheung and Asia Argento, actors whose exceptional central performances prevented fundamentally flawed films by Assayas – Clean and Boarding Gate, respectively – from foundering altogether.

Kristen Stewart, Olivier Assayas and Sigrid Bouaziz in Cannes Photo: Richard Mowe Kristen Stewart: 'I truly believe I’m driven by something that I can’t really define' Photo: Richard Mowe Kristen Stewart was first American to win a best supporting actress César (French Oscar) for her performance in Clouds Of Sils Maria, directed by Olivier Assayas. So it was hardly surprising that she would want to work with him again.
This time, in Personal Shopper, they delve into ghostly territory with Stewart, as a fashion Pa, coping with the death of her twin brother. Sigrid Bouaziz co-stars. The Twilight star confessed at the Cannes Film Festival that she was “really sensitive to energies”.
She continued: “I truly believe I’m driven by something that I can’t really define. It gives me a feeling we are not alone.” She prefers “ghosts to vampires” but would not be drawn further on the subject.

Reuniting for the first time since Clouds of Sils Maria, Kristen Stewart and director Olivier Assayas are back this year with Personal Shopper, a spooky French thriller that places Stewart in the role of Maureen, a 20s-something woman who makes ends meet by catering for the fashion needs of an aloof celebrity.
Carving out a life for herself in the French capital of Paris, today’s first trailer for Personal Shopper charts Stewart’s gradual discovery of a ghostly entity – one believed to be that of her dead twin brother, who passed away a few months earlier.
It’s an intriguing spin on your standard ghost story, with the film’s producer Charles Gillibert telling The Guardian that it is really Assayas’ stylistic tendencies that set Personal Shopper apart.
“There are studios in Hollywood asking Olivier to make films. He can do whatever he wants. He’s making European cinema.

Update: Read our Cannes review here.
Perhaps the best indicator that a film is truly something special, Kristen Stewart and Olivier Assayas’ Clouds of Sils Maria follow-up, the ghost story Personal Shopper, got booed after its premiere at Cannes Film Festival yesterday. Notching up our anticipation even greater now that we know it doesn’t conform to easy-to-please confines, a great first trailer has now landed, which shows off the story that takes place in Paris’ fashion underworld.
“There are studios in Hollywood asking Olivier to make films. He can do whatever he wants. He’s making European cinema,” producer Charles Gillibert tells The Guardian. “Like Olivier, Kristen challenges herself. I’ve seen on Personal Shopper how Olivier has had to adapt himself because of what she is doing with her character. He told me: ‘She’s challenging the scenes! I thought she was going to do this, but she’s doing that.

Returning to Cannes after her César-winning performance in Clouds of Sils Maria, Kristen Stewart is back with director Olivier Assayas for Personal Shopper. It’s described as a ghost story that takes place in Paris’ fashion underworld, and we’re deeply curious as to how one of France’s most talented directors weaves this genre element into that scenario. With a cast also including Joachim Trier’s go-to lead Anders Danielsen Lie, it has the makings of one of the best of this year’s Cannes, as noted in our most-anticipated feature.
Ahead of a premiere next week at the festival, the first two clips have landed as well as a poster. While we’ll be steering clear until we see the actual film, they can be seen below in one video. One can check back for our review shortly for the film also starring Lars Eidinger, Sigrid Bouaziz, Ty Olwin,...

If one has seen Olivier Assayas‘ Clouds of Sils Maria, then you’ve witnessed Kristen Stewart‘s most accomplished performance thus far, and are rightfully looking forward to their next collaboration. Having revisited the film this past week to confirm it deserves a spot on my forthcoming top ten of the year, it was perfect timing, as we now have the first look at their next film, Personal Shopper.
With filming wrapped, hopefully a Cannes debut is in store for the English-language drama described as a “ghost story taking place in the fashion underworld.” Reteaming with producer Charles Gillibert, he previously said similar themes from Sils Maria will be explored, with an added “genre/fantasy dimension.” Check out the image below, thanks to UniFrance, for the film also starring Sigrid Bouaziz, Lars Eidinger, Anders Danielsen Lie, and Nora von Waldstätten.
IFC Films will likely release Personal Shopper next year.
