For his second film as a screenwriter (followed by The Follower in 1999), Christopher Nolan was inspired by a passion for dreams.
This leads to the story of Inception, where Dom Cobb, a master thief who has become an expert in the art of stealing individuals’ secrets from their subconscious, is tasked with the mission of implanting an idea into a person’s mind. It takes a filmmaker about ten years to complete his particularly difficult script.
Deviating the codes of a spy movie, Christopher Nolan thus leads the audience into a dreamy labyrinth, at the risk of sometimes losing it along the way.
Indeed, since its release in 2010, Inception has continued to fuel theories and divide fans, particularly due to its open ending.
The site OnBuy also ranked it #1 in the “Most Confusing Films in Cinema History” ranking, with no less than 80,090 monthly searches on the Internet.
Featuring a five-star cast – including Leonardo DiCaprio, Marion Cotillard, Elliott Page, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Tom Hardy – this ambitious work also benefits from an incredible sense of direction, stunning special effects and a timeless, intense soundtrack by Hans Zimmer.
So much for its huge success in theaters ($829 million worldwide and almost 5 million admissions in France). The film was also awarded at the 83rd Academy Awards, leaving four statues.
On AlloCiné, this is the Christopher Nolan feature film with the best audience rating (tied with The Dark Knight and Interstellar) with an average of 4.5 out of 5.
