Across Genres: Fashion City, Psychic Thriller, Murder Mystery

The heroine is a personal buyer's assistant of a fashion celebrity. She is also a medium. After her brother died, she lived in the old house and waited for the signal they agreed to know that the other party really existed. Note that all so-called psychics are real, not their imaginations. But there is only one female ghost in the old house and no her brother.

And her work status also shows that she is also a materialist. She yearns for the boss's high-end and gorgeous big-name fashion, and finally wears them under the instigation of a mysterious text message correspondent. Freely sleeping on her bed in her boss's mansion, wearing her favorite clothes, she seemed to have achieved the resistance she had been waiting for. But the ghost appeared again.

The next day the boss was murdered, and she was the first witness, and at the same time, the supernatural appeared in the mansion. She fled the scene in a panic and came back to call the police. The strange thing is that the jewelry she took from Cartier to help the boss disappeared.

Is it the boss's lover? Or the ghost? The answer is always somewhere in between, they both showed up at that hotel and walked out of the hotel door from there. One is the concrete person of the visible entity, the other is the invisible, soulful, force or field of desire...

ps Kristen Stewart acting is growing.

Personal Shopper quotes

  • Maureen Cartwright: [talking about her deceased brother] So we made this oath... Whoever died first would send the other a sign.

    Ingo: A sign? From- from the afterlife?

    Maureen Cartwright: You could call it that; you could call it a million things.

    Ingo: But... how do you know if it's a sign?

    Maureen Cartwright: I'm a medium. He was- he was a medium. I'll just know it.

    Ingo: Have you... communicated with spirits before?

    Maureen Cartwright: Um. Lewis thought they were... spirits. I'm- I'm less sure. But yes. Uh, somewhat.

    [gets off the couch to smoke]

    Maureen Cartwright: I mean there are invisible... presences... around us. Always. I mean whether or not they're the souls of the dead, I don't know, but... You know when you're a medium you just are attuned to some sort of... vibe.

    Ingo: What do you mean by- by vibe?

    Maureen Cartwright: It's an intuition thing; it's a feeling. You... You see this door... That's only like slightly, ajar.

    Ingo: Well... How's within that, that the soul... continues to exist... after death?

    Maureen Cartwright: I don't even know if I believe in that. But... Lewis did. And I- I have to give his... spirit -whatever you wanna call it- a chance to prove him right.
