‘I feel like I’ve had my limbs cut off’: Kristen Stewart’s Personal Shopper met with boos at Cannes
With two films at the Cannes Film Festival, including Cafe Society directed by Woody Allen, Stewart is the centre of attention
In a pair of films at the Cannes Film Festival, Kristen Stewart makes a plaything of her celebrity, giving a homes-of-the-stars Hollywood tour in Woody Allen’s 1930s-era tale Cafe Society and playing a fashion assistant in Olivier Assayas’ psychological thriller Personal Shopper.
Though Personal Shopper was met with a smattering of boos at its press screening in Cannes, Stewart has won raves for both performances. Her sly subversions of her fame – playing characters that exist just outside the real-life spotlight always fixed on her – follow her award-winning role as a famous actress’s personal assistant in Assayas’ Clouds of Sils Maria .
