Personal Shopper.

A smarter intake on capturing the mourning process that follows a mythical path which not only is intriguing but thought-provoking and layered concept. The writing is gripping and poetic and doesn't grow cheesy or corny (which it could have been easily considering the wider concept it possess) instead grows mature and stays true to its tone throughout the course of it. Even though the concept is deep and finely detailed, the makers narrow down the priorities and keeps it simple rather than overcooking it. Olivier Assayas; the writer-director, has done a marvellous work on executing this character driven feature (such features can easily be exhausting if not taken care of) with the help of amazing cinematography and rich costume design. The background score and the editing could have been a lot better. Kirsten Stewart is a revolution and the game changer in this feature (she carries it all on her shoulder) as it is one of her finest performance up till now. The sound effects aren't scary to that extent but then contradict to its genre, the feature doesn't spend its time on projecting the high pitched tense sequences that are usually all hoax in such features. Personal Shopper is brutally dark and inedible on terms of the trajectory it follows but if up for it, is definitely worth shopping.
