Dimitri de Clercq on You Go To My Head: “A lot of the scenes are shot at the Malick hour, dawn or dusk.”
Delfine Bafort and Svetozar Cvetkovic star in Dimitri de Clercq’s quietly disturbing, beautifully framed You Go To My Head, shot by Stijn Grupping in Morocco. His first directing experience was working with Alain Robbe-Grillet On The Blue Villa (Un Bruit Qui Rend Fou) after producing Ray Müller’s The Wonderful, Horrible Life Of Leni Riefenstahl (Die Macht der Bilder: Leni Riefenstahl) and Mathieu Kassovitz’s debut feature Café au lait.

You Go To My Head smartly bookends with Chet Baker songs. Catherine Breillat’s longtime editor Pascale Chavance is thanked in the end credits.

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.”
The ominous score and stark visual beauty do initially suggest a noirish romantic thriller. But the more opportunities director-producer-co-writer de Clercq takes to shoot Belgian model Delfine Bafort in various states of languorous undress, the more it starts to feel like we’re watching a vanity wish-fulfillment fantasy.
Whose wishes are fulfilled, exactly? Well, anyone who wants an extended opportunity to gaze at a professional model nude in a shower, bed or pool, certainly. But also those of Jake (Serbian actor Svetozar Cvetkovic), a middle-aged architect who lives alone in the Moroccan desert. After Dafne (Bafort) and her husband are in a car accident, she stumbles alone through the...

Faint but discernible echoes of Hitchcock and Antonioni abound throughout “You Go to My Head,” a coolly affected yet ineffably captivating drama that builds interest and sustains tension by teasingly frustrating audience expectations at almost every turn. At first, it appears that director Dimitri de Clercq, along with co-writers Pierre Bourdy and Rosemary Ricchio, have concocted the blueprint for a psychological thriller. Only gradually does it become clear that the filmmakers are more interested in charting a map of the human heart.
The narrative begins in a desolate stretch of the Sahara Desert, as a beautiful young woman (Delfine Bafort) extracts herself from a wrecked car and wanders, dazed and lost, across the sand. But these opening scenes are far less melodramatic than that description sounds. Indeed, it’s all too easy to be distracted by the artful frame compositions and color contrasts to fret too much about where this survivor is going,...

With 2010 only a week over, it already feels like best-of and top-ten lists have been pouring in for months, and we’re already tired of them: the ranking, the exclusions (and inclusions), the rules and the qualifiers. Some people got to see films at festivals, others only catch movies on video; and the ability for us, or any publication, to come up with a system to fairly determine who saw what when and what they thought was the best seems an impossible feat. That doesn’t stop most people from doing it, but we liked the fantasy double features we did last year and for our 3rd Writers Poll we thought we'd do it again.
I asked our contributors to pick a single new film they saw in 2010—in theaters or at a festival—and creatively pair it with an old film they saw in 2010 to create a unique double feature.

0639 Caves of Forgotten Dreams (Werner Herzog, USA)
If you’ve been waiting for a truly creative, for a truly auteur use of 3-D, here it is. (And now maybe we can forget about this "trend" or "solution" or "manufactured craze," yes?) Werner Herzog's exploration of caves and cave paintings is a natural fit for the aesthetic, finding in the digital pseudo-depth of the variable recesses and oscillating torchlight of the Chauvet cave in southern France an eerie, alien space. The techno-aesthetic helps re-wire our brain to finally see a bit of the world as Herzog sees it, a powerful expression of the singularity of human kind and the magnificent mystery of its existence on earth. The cave paintings themselves are, in a way, 3-D compositions painted upon and utilizing the contours of the cave walls to mimic energy and movement. The cave’s opening collapsed long ago to seal...

Anticipation is mounting ahead of the premiere of Promises Written in Water, Vincent Gallo's tale of a beautiful girl who is dying and the jittery undertaker who says he loves her. It is Gallo's first film as director and star since 2003's The Brown Bunny, an unbridled vanity project that was booed at Cannes and climaxed, notoriously, with our hero receiving oral sex from a tearful Chloë Sevigny. The crowds have gathered to see just how further up himself one man can travel.
Good news on this front. Promises Written in Water is a "Vincent Gallo Films" production, with music by Vincent Gallo. It is "written, directed and produced by Vincent Gallo" and opens with a 10-minute shot of none other than Vincent Gallo, who pads about a hotel room, chainsmoking like a bastard and pausing occasionally to eyeball himself in the mirror. After that it's down to business.

Venice Film Festival 2010 finally started, so, it’s our turn to keep writing about some movies that will compete for the Golden Lion!
One of the movies that will play In Competition category is drama titled Promises Written in Water, written, directed, edited and produced by Vincent Gallo.
Promises Written in Water is an extremely stripped down abstract romantic story of a man and a woman, both in crisis. Kevin is a long-time, professional assassin, specializing in the termination of life.
Mallory is a wild, poetic, beautiful young woman confronting her terminal illness and eventual suicide. She reaches out to Kevin to take responsibility for her corpse once she passes, requesting his protection of her dead body’s dignity until her cremation.
Kevin’s acceptance of this request causes uncomfortable self-reflection and changes the lens through which he views death.
Gallo described his new film as a highly conceptual film...
