Story : The release of the psycho-action-drama-thriller Inception has been shrouded in narrative mystery. Still, someone should be able to explain what it's about, right? Right? ''Please don't ask any questions,'' pleads one of the film's stars, Ellen Page. ''Don't look at anything, don't sniff around. Just go see it.''
Lucky for Warner Bros, Page doesn't work in its marketing department, which is doing a pretty good job of not giving away the plot to a movie it doesn't seem to understand - or, at least, know how to describe.
Despite this, and a concept that is distinctly un-Hollywood (because it apparently requires more than 10 words to explain), Inception is being advertised via effects-heavy trailers and oblique references. Clearly, narrative is not what the studio is trying to sell. And that alone may make it the most intriguing film to come along all year.
''I have been interested in dreams my whole life,'' says the director Christopher Nolan (The Dark Knight), who based Inception on his own original script.
Roughly speaking, the film involves a group of dream ''extractors'' who steal secrets for their clients from unconscious others. Charged instead with implanting an idea, they wind up crossing multiple, overlapping realities (or unrealities) that were shot in six different locales, including Tangier and Calgary.
''I think, really, for me the primary interest in dreams and in making this film was this notion that when you're asleep, you create an entire world,'' Nolan says.
Starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Marion Cotillard, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Tom Hardy, Inception is also a bit of an oxymoron: a thinking person's blockbuster.
One of its producers, Emma Thomas, doesn't disagree, exactly. ''People do like to be challenged,'' she says. ''One of the things I love about this film is that if you're the kind of person who wants to really think about a film - the intricacies of the plot, and how the technology works, the dream levels - you can do that. But there's also an enormous amount of fun and action and a great love story.''
DiCaprio has admiration for Nolan's nerve. ''Few directors … would pitch to a studio a multi-layered, at times existential, high-action, high-drama surreal film that's sort of locked in his mind, and get the opportunity to do that. And it's a testament to the work he's done in the past, like Memento and Insomnia. ''
However, it's The Dark Knight that has given Nolan his clout and whipped up so much anticipation for Inception. The director may be as much an attraction as any of his stars.
