There is no arguing the grandiose nature of
Inception, in its presentation, its ambition and its cinematic soul. The latest product of master craftsman Christopher Nolan, this Leo DiCaprio-starring heist thriller looks to go further down the rabbit hole than any film that’s come before it…and then to press on even further. A kaleidoscopic tale of dreamscapes and nightmares,
Inception sucks you in with its familiarity – luring you into the umpteenth film about dreams and mind exploration – then carries you away into uncharted realms of fantasy and science, smacking you in the face with rules and understandings with a casual banality, only in the very next moment to smack you again and tell you all that was only half true. Indeed, watching
Inception is very much akin to dreaming itself, with all the wonders of introspection, complication and sloppiness with which dreams may come.
