I know that most of you have seen Inception by now, but I just want to share a little love for Chris Nolan's latest. As you all may know, I have great love for movies that don't cater to the least common denominator. Just because its complicated a lot of people may not like it and therefore, poof you get dumbed down content year in and year out. Chris Nolan dares to put together a film that tells a great story without selling out. Doing so has given it incredible buzz and kept its lofty heights beyond the release of Salt. I'm sure that there are more complicated movies out there, but this is watchable. Complexity for complexity's sake is not what I'm championing here.
We watched Following, one of his early works, before going out and catching Inception and got a real feel for how this was going to unfold. The movie is complex though he's matured his film making quite a bit. Nolan marries fantastic actors/acting, with incredibly detailed, saturated sets, crisp editing that keeps pace with your senses and a story line that challenges your mind. Go out and catch it if you haven't and if you have, then I already know you are looking for someone who hasn't seen it so you can immerse yourself in your dreams again.
