“Non, je ne regrette rien” // Edith Piaf

Taking a break from posting songs about Los Angeles, this is the “wake up” music from Inception. One colleague responded to this as my wake-up alarm with “Awesome!” Another colleague, who hasn’t seen Inception yet, just thinks I’m even weirder than before.

Yeah, I love this movie.

Everybody’s a Critic of the Critics’ Rabid Critics

If I had to issue a one-sentence manifesto for film criticism, it would be this: Any movie worth seeing is worth arguing about, and any movie worth arguing about is worth seeing.

An interesting piece from A.O. Scott on the critical reception of Inception. Definitely worth reading.

Christopher Nolan’s Inception Research

Inception (new trailer)

This is the movie I’m most excited about this summer.

hndrk: There’s an extensive piece at the LA Times on Christopher Nolan’s upcoming “existential heist film” Inception with comments from a stellar list of cast and crew. Color me surprised if this doesn’t end up being one of the finest movies of the year. “Inception” plays to Nolan’s two proven strengths — massive scale and psychological puzzles — but Page said what makes him a singular filmmaker is that he would attempt a summer film that evokes literature and architecture in an era when other directors seem to be tilting toward a video-game aesthetic. ”There’s a tangible realism even when it gets crazy, and somehow that makes the jeopardy feel more real,” Page said. “It’s like reading a Haruki Murakami novel — it’s fantasy, but instead of feeling like some strange surreal world it feels very honest. The emotional spine of the story is there too, which is the key to his movies. There’s the big scale, but the sincerity isn’t left behind. The story is complicated but never confusing.” “I always find myself gravitating to the analogy of a maze,” he said. “Think of film noir and if you picture the story as a maze, you don’t want to be hanging above the maze watching the characters make the wrong choices because it’s frustrating. You actually want to be in the maze with them, making the turns at their side, that keeps it more exciting…I quite like to be in that maze.” View high resolution
