"We made this oath: whoever died first would send the other a sign." IFC Films has debuted another new official Us trailer for the indie sorta-horror film from French filmmaker Olivier Assayas, titled Personal Shopper starring Kristen Stewart, which first premiered at the Cannes Film Festival last year. The film follows a young women who is haunted by a ghost and she communicates with him through text messages (seriously). She works as a "personal shopper" for a famous celebrity, picking up clothes all over Europe for her to wear. The full cast includes Lars Eidinger, Sigrid Bouaziz, Anders Danielsen Lie, Ty Olwin, Hammou Graia, Nora Van Waldstatten & Benjamin Biolay. I'm not a fan of this film, but that's me. Here's the new official Us trailer (+ poster) for Olivier Assayas' Personal Shopper, direct from YouTube: Maureen, mid-20s, has a job she hates: seeing to the wardrobe of a media celebrity.

"We made this oath - whoever died first would send the other a sign." IFC has released an official trailer for the latest film from French filmmaker Olivier Assayas, titled Personal Shopper, which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival earlier this year. This sorta-horror film deals with a young women who is haunted by a ghost through text messages (seriously). She works as a "personal shopper" for a famous celebrity, picking up clothes all over Europe for her to wear. The cast includes Lars Eidinger, Sigrid Bouaziz, Anders Danielsen Lie, Ty Olwin, Hammou Graia, Nora Van Waldstatten, and Benjamin Biolay. This will likely be a very polarizing film, as it's not really the typical horror most expect, but does have a chilling side. Here's the official Us trailer (+ poster) for Olivier Assayas' Personal Shopper, from Vanity Fair (via Tfs): Maureen, mid-20s, has a job she hates: seeing...

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. Stewart’s achievement is...

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,...

Personal Shopper
Director: Olivier Assayas
Writer: Olivier Assayas
Olivier Assayas returns with another English language Euro drama starring Kristen Stewart, Personal Shopper. Their last collaboration was the Cannes premiered Clouds of Sils Maria, which snagged Stewart a Cesar for Best Supporting Actress (the first American to be awarded) and was one of the best theatrical releases of 2015. While Assayas was originally intending to film a project known as Idol’s Eye starring Robert Pattinson and Robert De Niro, funding fell through before filming, paving the way for the director to re-team with Stewart for a film described as a ghost story set in the fashion underworld of Paris. Also re-teaming with Assayas DoP Yorick Le Saux (Carlos; Clouds of Sils Maria) and German star Lars Eidinger. Danish actor Anders Danielsen Lie (of Trier’s Reprise and Oslo, August 31st) is also a notable cast member.
