You Go to My Head (2017)
Cinema and Architecture
"You Go To My Head" deserves to be nominated for an architecture award. The film's protagonist is an architect, played by Serb actor Svetozar Cvetkovic. He knows the part well; he already interpreted the role of an architect in two Yugoslavian feature films. The movie's principal setting is the very beautiful, widely-published Fobe House in Marrakech (Morocco), designed by French architect Guilhem Eustache. The screenplay calls to mind an architecture project as well (blank 'white' sheet, challenging design, construction, delays, more construction, anticipation...). Filmmaker Dimitri de Clercq creates shots, atmospheres, lighting and colors that reminded me of Jean-Luc Godard's "Le mépris" ("Contempt"). The narrative could be taken from a story by Alberto Moravia. In my opinion, "You Go To My Head" is an absolute must-see for architects and lovers of architecture alike.
