Christopher Nolan's Inception (2010) is a difficult film to
categorize. It partakes of various genres, blurring the
distinctions between them. It is science fiction, but it does not
contain many of the ingredients associated with that genre. It can
also be identified as a kind of heist film, and there are shades of
film noir as well, not only because of the heist motifs but also
due to its character types. It can also be described as
psychological thriller, telling the story of one man's attempt to
flee his past and regain access to his family, of his coming to
terms with the death of his wife. In addition, it plays with time,
questioning the certainty of consciously experienced real time, and
revealing that the personal experience of the passing of time is
variable. The film also explores the nature of the mind and how
dreams are related to the conscious and unconscious mind. David
Carter's contribution to the Constellation series covers all of
these facets of a complex yet highly successful film, as well as
considering it in the context of the director's other work.
