"Science. Art. Film." screening and discussion of "Inception"
Presented by ANU College of Systems & Society
Dom Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio) is a thief who can enter the unconscious to steal from people’s dreams. With the help of expert forgers Eames (Tom Hardy), Ariadne (Elliot Page) and Arthur (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), he creates dreams with dreams – until they threaten to collapse. Christopher Nolan’s (Oppenheimer, Interstellar, Memento) stylish dreamworlds blur the lines between illusion and reality.
Join us after the screening for a lively discussion with experts from different fields of research exploring the representation and dynamics of consciousness and dreams in "Inception" and what they can teach us about ourselves.
‘Nolan blurs the distinction between dreams and reality so artfully that Inception may well be a masterpiece masquerading as a summer blockbuster.’ – New York Post
