Video: Behind-the-Scenes Clip Touts *Inception'*s Brainy Virtues

The cast of Inception talks about the spectacle of creating the movie’s surreal dream world, and the vision of director Christopher Nolan.

“I think Christopher is one of the greatest directors in the world,” says Oscar-winning actor Michael Caine, in this behind-the-scenes video featurette.

One reason for the praise: The intellectually gifted director is practically peerless when it comes to wrapping smart, surreal narratives in accessible Hollywood action. Few helmers these days possess the ability to create a labyrinthine exploration of the brain that pushes the limits of sci-fi while still delivering blockbuster box-office receipts.

Inception is a film that explores the exciting possibilities and the infinite potential of the human mind,” Nolan says in the featurette. “My ambition was to create a world that embraced all different types of human experience.”
