You Go to My Head is a warped and lush tale of obsession, deception, and romance that’ll certainly go to your head. It’ll just take some time. Read full review

From its desert landscapes to its principal setting of an architecturally distinguished house to its extremely photogenic lead actress, every frame of the psychological thriller proves visually stunning to behold. While the film never manages to achieve the level of suspense that would make it dramatically riveting, it certainly earns its art house credentials on a purely visceral level. Read full review

Until its surprisingly effective ending, You Go To My Head keeps its drama under the skin. Like an animal in captivity, Bafort, who is also a model, slinks and lounges with long-limbed grace; but it’s Cvetkovic who holds the movie steady, giving Jake a secretive, worn gentleness that’s tinged with tragedy.

If you can surrender yourself to the measured rhythms of the film and accept its mix of feeling and artifice, you may find much to admire here. Read full review

De Clercq’s clear directorial talent gives the film the illusion of respectability, but it can’t remove the sweaty sheen of smarm. Read full review

If you hired an independent filmmaker to create a perfume ad, and then turned that ad into a full-length movie, you’d probably get something that looks a lot like Dimitri de Clercq’s directorial debut, “You Go to My Head.” Read full review

The stunning cinematography shows the dichotomy of the desert as both a beautiful and dangerous place. It starts with a mysterious car accident that leaves a young woman alone in the desert wandering the hostile environment with no memory of her past. She is eventually found by a local architect who nurses her slowly back to health and takes her back to his large house which also has a beautiful pool. However, he soon falls in love and begins to deceive her by leading her to believe they are actually married and have had a life together. The rest of the story will have you waiting in expectation as she starts to discover the truth about herself with an ending that is a true surprise. This movie is beautifully filmed with cinematography that is a treat for the eyes including stunning desert vistas, ancient ruins, and the aquatic blue water of the gorgeous pool. Lots of analogies abound in this exquisite film which will keep you thinking about them long after the film has ended. The acting is superb by Belgian model and actress Delfine Befort who's beauty is mesmerizing in this film and Serbian actor Svetozar “Toza” Cvetkovic who will have you feeling his loneliness and desire for love. Dimitri de Clercq has created a masterpiece and a unique love story in “You Go To My Head” which will get into yours as well.… Expand

The film plays like a lucid dream with inspired use of color, composition, and location. It's refreshing to see such a beautifully made film that doesn't pander to it's audience. The narrative material is both challenging and accessible at the same time with stellar performances by the two leads. YOU GO TO MY HEAD is a rare cinematic experience that's filmed in a classic Art House style while still embracing modern storytelling techniques and technology. It's unique and unforgettable.… Expand

Since theA movie about a young woman losing her memory after a car crash somewhere in Sahara desert. Even with a serious trauma to her head, she manages to get out of the wreck of her car, and tries to get help. A middle-aged architect find her unconscious and rescues her. For himself. Since the woman did not remember anything that happened before the crash, even her own name, he wants to start a new life for both of them.

The idea of the movie was interesting but the implementation could be much better.
The weakest point was the script: too many details did not make sense, and there was too little substance.
Beautiful cinematography, and atrocious music track.… Expand
