'Personal Shpper': Shopping for ghosts . . .

Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

Kristen Stewart is "stuck" in Paris. Somehow she has great taste and shops for a very, very busy celebrity. She picks up clothes and brings them to Kyra's apartment. But, Maureen (Stweart) has a side job: psychic who specializes in making contact with the dead. Poor Maureen lost her twin brother in Paris and had made the promise she would not leave until she made contact with her twin.

We open with Maureen trying to make contact with spirits in an estate home outside Paris. The situation eventually gets to be very scary. She later meets Kyra's German lover who maxes the Creep Meter, then the mysterious text messages begin that reveal uncanny familiarity and goes on to give her orders.

This is a very strange story combining seemingly unrelated elements into a unified story. The production is A-class and Stewart does a good job of a grieving sister looking for answers in all the wrong places. Scary and unnerving, the film ends in a twist.

I understand that a lot of critics at Cannes stood and booed at the first showing. Later the director was awarded Best Director. It is a different form of horror. Plodding and ominous with visual shocks.
