Review of Personal Shopper (2016) by Riff J — 29 Nov 2018
Moody, introspective reflection of our times, showcasing the nomadic, modern lifestyle and search for purpose in a deeply impersonal digital age.
Personal Shopper has more breathing within it than average ghost story fare, managing to unearth emotional depth, and challenge conventional storytelling, without feeling stuffy or pretentious.
Unfamiliar with Director Olivier Assayas previous work, if the rest of his films have an inkling of the understated, careful touch this one does, then there will be much to discover.
Primed by a beautiful and haunting ending that begged for a second viewing and alluded to further mysteries and revelations to uncover.
