'Personal Shopper', 'Certain Women' will screen at the Zurich Film Festival + Olivier Assayas will be honored
The French filmmaker will be honored with Zurich's 'A Tribute to...' award for his life's work.
Acclaimed French director Olivier Assayas will be honored at this year's Zurich Film Festival with a retrospective of his life's work.
The 61-year-old filmmaker, whose latest drama, Personal Shopper, stars Kristen Stewart and Lars Eidinger, will also receive Zurich's "A Tribute to..." award on Oct. 1 in Zurich.
One of the most distinctive, and successful, of France's arthouse directors, Assayas has established himself as a cross-over auteur with a diverse series of films and the Emmy-nominated (and Golden Globe-winning) television series Carlos.
His cinematic output of more than a dozen features ranges in style and theme from 2002's Demonlover, a thriller set in the world of 3D manga, to Clouds of Sils Maria (2014), a reflection on acting and aging starring Juliette Binoche and Kristen Stewart, to Personal Shopper, a ghost story set in the Parisian fashion underworld.
“His tremendously rich body of work spanning a wide variety of genres has left a lasting impression on modern European cinema,” said Zurich festival directors Nadja Schildknecht and Karl Spoerri.
'Personal Shopper' will close the 12th Zurich Film Festival on Oct. 2 at 8.30pm.
- Saturday 24 September - 7pm
- Sunday 2 October - 3pm
'Clouds of Sils Maria' will screen as part of Olivier Assayas' retrospective on Saturday 24 September at 4.15pm.

'Certain Women' will screen at the Aspen Film Festival
CERTAIN WOMEN
Wednesday, September 21, 2016 | 8:15 PM
The celebrated indie auteur Kelly Reichardt returns with perhaps her strongest film, a quiet and mesmerizing portrayal of various intersecting lives in Montana. On the heels of its Sundance premiere in January 2016, Certain Women received universal critical acclaim, with The Guardian calling Reichardt “a master at slow-burning, melancholic dramas.” A married couple (Michelle Williams and James Le Gros) falters after buying a new home, a young lawyer (Kristen Stewart) is roped into teaching an adult education class, and another lawyer (Laura Dern) finds herself in a peculiar hostage situation. Their lives become inevitably intertwined in these luminous vignettes. Colorado Premiere. (USA, 2016)

'Certain Women' and 'Personal Shopper' will screen at the London Film Festival
CERTAIN WOMEN
Official Competition
The LFF has long loved Kelly Reichardt (River of Grass, Old Joy and most recently, Night Moves). Certain Women reunites her with Michelle Williams (Wendy & Lucy and Meek’s Cutoff) for a story about the lives of three very different women in Livingstone, Montana, a town of only 7,000 residents. Laura Dern’s lawyer is conducting a surreptitious lunchtime affair with a married man while defending a disgruntled construction worker (Jared Harris) in a workplace accident suit. Williams is Gina, a woman of frustrated ambitions attempting to build a ‘perfect’ family with her husband and surly child, but struggling with her own slippery ethics as she tries to get things done in the sleepy town. And Native American actor Lily Gladstone rounds off the trio, playing lonely ranch hand Jamie, who enrols in a night school course and develops confusing feelings for supply teacher Beth (Kristen Stewart). It’s all-round stellar work from an impeccable cast, with striking discovery Gladstone particularly sublime as the near-silent figure struggling to articulate the nature of her interest in Beth. Drawing from Montana-native Maile Meloy’s short stories, Reichardt’s delicate, nuanced direction ensures that the minutest look or gesture gains epic significance. And the only moment in the film to employ scored music is so overwhelming it might just break your heart.

PERSONAL SHOPPER
Following their previous collaboration on the acclaimed Clouds Of Sils Maria, Kristen Stewart reunites with director Olivier Assayas to play Maureen, a medium working in Paris as a personal shopper for a megalomaniacal A-list celebrity. Bored and frustrated by her job, Maureen only remains in France in an attempt to reach the spirit of her recently deceased twin brother. As time goes by, contact looks increasingly unlikely, until Maureen begins to receive strange text messages from an unknown source. Continuing to prove herself one of contemporary cinema’s most dextrous and daring young actors, Kristen Stewart is luminous in the central role; enigmatic, effortless and endlessly watchable. Part sleek fashionista drama, part chilly murder mystery, part bewitching supernatural horror story, this elegant arthouse head-scratcher is hard to define and an absolute pleasure to watch. Give yourself over to its secrets and prepare to be hypnotised.
