Finally a work of art that made me (and the rest of the sold-out theatre) go “woooot!”.
Christopher Nolan’s latest creation, “Inception”, truly is a brilliant movie... actually it is so good the title should have been “Fucking Brilliant Movie”.
It’s got it all: the heart breaking romance; the struggle for freedom (both juridical and psychological); good action; breath taking special effects (with absolutely original scenarios); excellent soundtrack; realistic and witty dialogues; guns (!!!); no cheesiness; scary bits ...it has everything.
As a matter of fact it is like someone went through the archives where all the good movies are kept and said “Ok, now we are going to make a movie with: some of The Italian Job, a bit of The Matrix, ...what else?...Oh yes! Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (duh...), a sprinkle of The Heroes of Telemark and, for the ending, a WTF! Donnie Darko last scene, just to send you home with the need to talk about it”.
Leonardo Di Caprio once again shows how much of an actor he is but the best thing of this flick is that he is not the one that makes the movie: the whole cast does an outstanding work.
Team-work is mixed with individuality: great performances made possible only thanks to a simple but really effective way of alternating different layers of settings.
Reality meets subconscious, creating a plot that litterally dances through the characters, hooking you from start to end.
A further praise goes to the female cast: to Marion Cotillard (Public Enemies), scary as hell, and to Ellen Page (Juno), who plays the role of a “Jiminy Cricket” to Leonardo Di Caprio, steering him through the quay of his tortured subconscious with the humanity that by now is her trade mark.
“This time we have to go deep”.
And deep they went.
Only criticism I feel confident to make: some comic relief more here and there would have made this movie actually perfect.
A truly memorable cinematic experience.
