Lose Your Head is a gripping psychological thriller, released in 2013, directed by the duo Patrick Schuckmann and Stefan Westerwelle. Set against the backdrop of pulsating techno beats and hedonistic club culture, the movie transports viewers to the party capital of Europe - Berlin. The film follows the story of Luis (Fernando Tielve), a Spanish tourist, who comes to Berlin for an unforgettable summer vacation. As he wanders through the city's vibrant nightlife, Luis meets Viktor (Marko Mandic), a charismatic Serb, who introducers him to an exciting world of sex, drugs, and parties. Viktor takes Luis under his wing and introduces him to his group of friends, including the exotic and elusive Marie (Sesede Terziyan).

As Luis becomes increasingly enmeshed in the club scene, he begins to lose touch with reality. He embarks on a dangerous journey of self-discovery, risking everything he has to pursue Viktor's lust for adventure. The story picks up pace as Luis's obsession with Viktor spirals out of control, leading him down a murky trail of sex, murder, and criminal activity.

The movie's central themes are love, desire, friendship, and betrayal. It is a powerful exploration of the darker side of human nature, as the narrative unfolds with twists and turns that keep the audience on the edge of their seats from start to finish.

Fernando Tielve's mesmerizing portrayal of Luis is the highlight of the film. From his wide-eyed innocence to his slow descent into debauchery, Tielve's acting prowess is evident in every frame. Marko Mandic is equally impressive as Viktor, the beguiling and mysterious presence that draws Luis deeper into the abyss.

The cinematography is also notable for its gritty realism and attention to detail, with long shots of Berlin's streets and clubs, capturing the vibrant atmosphere of the city's underground scenes. The pulsating techno music animates the film, driving the story forward with an intensity that almost feels tangible.

It is worth mentioning that the film's script has some flaws, with a few loose ends and subplots that could have been fleshed out further. The movie also ends on a somewhat ambiguous note, leaving the audience to draw their conclusions about what exactly happened to the characters.

Overall Lose Your Head is a visually captivating thriller that keeps the viewer enticed from start to finish.
