The stairs in #ChristopherNolan’s ‘Inception’ are inspired by the famous optical illusion by M.C. Escher, titled “Penrose Steps.” (1937) By distorting perspective in the two dimensional illustration, it often takes viewers a little time to realize that something is not quite right. 👁 The scene in the film is presented in the form of an ever-ascending staircase as a way to construct a never-ending dreamscape within an otherwise finite world. | Tubi
