Kristen Stewart Goes Ghost Hunting in First Domestic 'Personal Shopper' Trailer

Kristen Stewart stars in three films showing at this year’s New York Film Festival, which opens tonight. Arguably none has had a more contentious lead-up to its stateside debut than Personal Shopper, the actress’ collaboration with French director Olivier Assayas. When the film first showed at Cannes in May, it was initially booed, but it also received praise online and a standing ovation at its official premiere. That sort of polarizing reaction is sure to accompany it when it lands in U.S. theaters, if its first American teaser is any indication. Watch it above.

In Personal Shopper, Stewart plays a young woman intent on receiving a from-beyond-the-grave sign from her recently deceased brother, who promised to get in touch from the afterlife, and with whom she shares a heart defect. That premise is the launching pad for another of Assayas’ moody, meditative genre-bending tales, one that careens wildly between ghost story, murder mystery and grief-stricken character study. While the end result seemed to split audiences at Cannes, it largely riveted critics, including our own Kerrie Mitchell, who wrote about the pseudo-ghost story, “Even if it doesn’t hold together, it’s also fair to say it’s never boring. And a lot of that is due to Stewart, whose performance is both mesmerizing and unnerving.”

While a prior international trailer debuted online a few months ago, this is IFC’s maiden attempt to directly sell the Hitchcockian film to domestic audiences. You can check out the teaser above, and — aside from seeing it at this year’s New York Film Festival, where it screens on Oct. 7 — see the film in theaters in March 2017.
