We Need To Go Deeper

It's the film that refuses to go away. Here's more food for thought, if you've just caught up with it on DVD... (SPOILERS EVERYWHERE)

Watch the film's dream levels unfold simultaneously:



A cool video essay looking at how Inception's parallel editing harks back to the pioneering work of D.W. Griffith:



Last but not least, Christopher Nolan's hand-drawn Inception map:

Lights, Camera... 11-Year-Old Critic!

This guy just came to my attention. He's only 11 and a celebrity Emmy-winning film "critic" in America. He publishes his reviews on his own website, which boasts the claim that he began his career at age 7 1/2. This is a clip of him reviewing Inception and Salt. Not quite the next Ebert yet, but kid's got (somewhat annoying) charisma, I'll give him that.

Trailer: Inception

First off apologies for the lack of posts recently. It's been a busy madhouse here in the past few weeks and workload has prevented me from posting as much as I'd like. But this stunning trailer for the new Christopher Nolan film Inception is worth taking the time out to blog about. I'm not completely sure of the plot - and I'm going to avoid details as much as I can from herein - but what we can glean from this trailer is that it looks like a rollercoaster sci-fi brain-melt that seems to take place a lot in people's minds and dreams. Maybe Paprika-style? And we can probably expect a DiCaprio performance dialed up to 10 a la Shutter Island. He plays an agent specialising in "subconscious security". Sounds ridiculous but I'm intrigued.



PS: Anyone feel like this movie looks a lot like Batman Begins? Something about the colour schemes - Nolan loves his browns, blacks, whites...
