Personal Shopper had a strange reaction at last year's Cannes Film Festival - strange in that it got booed by spectators but lauded by critics and ultimately received a four-minute standing ovation at its premiere.
A full trailer has now been released for the film which reunites Kristen Stewart with Clouds of Sils Maria director Olivier Assayas. The story follows Maureen (Stewart), a celebrity personal shopper who possesses the ability to communicate with otherworldly spirits.
The film also stars Lard Erdinger, Nora von Waldstätten and Ty Olwin. Assayas won the Best Director award at Cannes alongside Cristian Mungiu for Graduation .
