Christopher Nolan, we’re on to you.
Christopher Nolan’s movies are always overpraised upon their release, not necessarily because they’re unworthy, but because he is very good at flattering his audience. If mainstream commercial directors pander to stupid viewers, then Christopher Nolan panders to intelligent viewers.
This is an excellent tactic because the intelligent are often insecure—they should be, being vastly outnumbered by the stupid, like the uninfected survivors in a zombie plague. . .
My review of Inception in Emotional Weather Report, today in the Star.
P.S. Everyone’s doing 3D—this movie would kill in 3D.
Re the movie’s obsession with architecture, look at Architecture’s Modern Marvels in VF.

Cool! You picked the Seattle Public Library building on the blog. It’s one of the reasons why I love my adopted city.
