WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

Maureen (Stewart) is a young American woman working in Paris as a personal shopper for high-profile celebrities, but on the side she practises being a spiritual medium for supernatural entities. However, when she tries to contact the ghost of her recently-deceased twin brother, both parts of her life start to mesh together in the most disturbing of ways…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

A supernatural film that puts itself far above the standard schlock supernatural films we get nowadays, Personal Shopper also reunites director Olivier Assayas with Kristen Stewart, who received some of the best reviews of her career in his previous film Clouds of Sils Maria.
