Brilliantly Unique

Rating: 8/10 (10 August 2018)

The film monologue opens with what is the most resilient of parasites. It's an idea! Once implanted in the mind it becomes infectious over and over again. The plot of the film is about a man Dom Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio) who is a thief of the subconscious and invades dreams of wealthy business tycoons to steal ideas. Dom has a flaw though, he can't escape his own dream versions with his late wife. She pops up in the most unbeknownst places in his mind and subjects his extraction to fail. This film is full of twists and turns and absolutely amazing cinematography. An exceptional film with a brilliant supporting cast to go along for the ride, Tom Hardy, Joseph Gordon Levitt, Ellen Page, Ken Watanabe, and Lukas Haas. Truly a superb, indifferent film that makes our dreams and reality cross in unexpected ways. Makes yout look at our subconscious very differently. 8 out of 10
