Acclaimed new films debut in Sedona at Mary D. Fisher Theatre
Sedona AZ (April 3, 2017) – The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present the Northern Arizona premiere of “Personal Shopper” (starring Kristen Stewart) and encore return of “This Beautiful Fantastic” showing April 7-12 at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre.
PERSONAL SHOPPER
Following her César Award-winning performance in “Clouds of Sils Maria”, Kristen Stewart reteams with acclaimed director Olivier Assayas for this mesmerizing 21st-century ghost story.
By day, American in Paris Maureen (Stewart) works as a personal shopper, motor-biking around the city buying up deluxe couture for a jet-setting celebrity client. By night, she attempts to channel the spirits of the dead, hoping to make contact with her recently deceased twin brother.
When Maureen begins receiving a series of chilling, increasingly sinister text messages, it seems she may have made contact — but with whom? And what do they want?
This seductive mystery is a riveting showcase for one of this generation’s most adventurous actresses.
“Stewart is entrancing! You can’t take your eyes off her.” — A.O. Scott, The New York Times
“A dash of pure Hitchcockian brilliance.” — Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
“Pure cinema … Kristen Stewart is our most fearless modern actress.” — Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
“Personal Shopper” will be shown at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre April 7-12. Showtimes will be 7 p.m. on Friday, Saturday and Wednesday, April 7, 8 and 12; and 4 p.m. on Monday and Tuesday, April 10 and 11.
THIS BEAUTIFUL FANTASTIC
“This Beautiful Fantastic” returns to Sedona by popular demand after a sneak peek screening at the recent Sedona International Film Festival and rave reviews by audience members. The film stars Tom Wilkinson and Jessica Brown Findlay.
Life blooms in enchanting ways.
“The Beautiful Fantastic” is a contemporary fairy tale revolving around the unlikely of friendship between a reclusive young woman with dreams of being a children’s book author and a cantankerous widower, set against the backdrop of a beautiful garden in the heart of London.
