Written and directed by Christopher Nolan, Inception is a 2010 science fiction action heist film starring Leonardo DiCaprio as a professional thief who steals information by infiltrating the subconscious of his targets.

He is offered a chance to have his criminal history erased as payment for the implantation of another person’s idea into a target’s subconscious.
An excellent ensemble cast includes Ken Watanabe, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Marion Cotillard, Elliot Page, Tom Hardy, Cillian Murphy, Tom Berenger, Dileep Rao, and Michael Caine.
Nolan wanted to explore “the idea of people sharing a dream space… That gives you the ability to access somebody’s unconscious mind. What would that be used and abused for?”

The film was broadly well received amongst audiences, and critics, picking an Academy Awards for Best Cinematography, Best Sound Editing, Best Sound Mixing, and Best Visual Effects, and the British Academy Film Awards for Best Production Design, Best Special Visual Effects and Best Sound.

Chippenham Film Club’s screening of Inception is sponsored by Elastic Mint.
