“Inception” is number one on my list of must see flicks this year. I plan to torture my significant other even more than usual for this one, both before and after. We’ll get there extra early, for the perfect eye level, mid screen emplacement and after the film, if it’s anything like Leonardo DiCaprio’s prediction of highly intellectually challenging and firm and fully packed with kick ass, there will be my irritating questions and discussions after.
Here’s Leo’s experiences working with the mind of Christopher Nolan, who is, of course, the director of such quality entertainment as “Memento” and “The Dark Knight”.
The material and its complexity are what I’m attracted to…I’ve been lucky to work with people who want to tell stories that hit on different cylinders simultaneously. ‘Shutter Island’ is definitely that. ‘Inception’ is the same. It is Chris delving into dream psychoanalysis and, at the same time, making a high-octane, surreal film that came from his mind. He wrote the entire thing, and it all made sense to him. It didn’t make sense to many of us when we were doing it. We had to do a lot of detective work (laughing) to figure out what the movie was about.
“Inception” also stars Marion Cotillard, Ellen Page (homegirl), Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Michael Caine. It opens wide on July 16th. Thanks /film.
