Here comes Nolan....again!!!

Rating: 9/10 (17 July 2010)

Well...have been sitting on reviewing a film since became a member of this site...never was quite inspired to type away a few words for a movie (I joined only in 2009, so don't go, what about "The Dark Knight already", I love my movies alright..). But who to break that melancholic joblessness for me but Chris Nolan. I wonder if there has been a contemporary director more consistent than him at catering out breathtaking cinematic experience, time and again. Well he is back after two long years postponing the third batman movie for this one, and we here thought "It better be good." Well, we were wrong. Whats the word, ah!!! "Ruddy brilliant it is!!" Nolan has once again got it all right...the screenplay, the editing, the cinematography, phew! breathtaking. His grip on the movie is so overpowering, that an actor of DiCaprio's talent, who by the way turns in an exquisite performance as the troubled "extractor" Dom Cobb, still looks just another character driven in a frenzy in a world only Nolan could make so complex and yet so coherent with all its multi-"layered" texture. Ellen Page and Gordon-Hewitt turn in good performances, while Michael Caine is charming as ever in his short cameo, Because I am quite the Cotillard fan, I would not comment on her performance, lest it be biased. In short, if you have bought a ticket for this one, and I am not counting on that being easy at least this weekend, even here in Pune, you are in for a couple of hours of a hell of a ride. So long and thanks for all the fish, Mr Nolan.
