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, Hammou Graia, Nora Van Waldstatten, and Benjamin Biolay.
Maureen, mid-20s, has a job she hates: seeing to the wardrobe of a media celebrity. She couldn’t find anything better to pay for her stay in Paris. And wait. Wait for a sign from the spirit of her twin brother, who died a few months earlier. Until then, her life will stay on hold.
Personal Shopper premieres on March 17 at Cannes and will be released by IFC Films.
