The movie may be entirely a work of fiction, but its portrayal of an art thief trapped inside a Pritzker-winning architect's home incorporates real and replica works from some of the world's most famous living artists far beyond standard set design.
Some are original, but others, because they had to be destroyed or damaged during filming, are replicas often made by the artists themselves. Maurizio Cattelan and Luc Tuymans, for instance, sent us the works directly from their studios.
Inside is a 2023 psychological thriller film written by Ben Hopkins and directed by Vasilis Katsoupis in his feature directorial debut. The film follows an art thief (Willem Dafoe) who is trapped inside a luxury penthouse, slowly losing his grip on reality.
The film has its moments, and Dafoe certainly gives it his all, but there's a hollowness that ends up rendering the whole thing fairly forgettable—the cinematic equivalent of a piece of art you buy only because it goes well with the couch. In theaters today.

Is the movie Inside 2023 based on a true story?

Further down the room is a gate that, if opened, will reveal a plug. Should the protagonist unplug the cable, the mind control helmet hooked up to the computers will deactivate, the lighting will shut off, and the protagonist will enter a limp state similar to that of an idle albino.
You're trying to get inside a facility housing a sinister project. Along the way you will face lethal humans, dogs and merpeople intent on stymying your progress. If you survive and solve all the environmental puzzles, you are treated to one of the most bizarre endings in video games.
Inside ends with the sconce falling to the ground, but never reveals whether or not Nemo escaped. The likely answer is that he did, with the metaphorical gates of heaven finally opening for him to ascend and leave the penthouse.
Inside features very similar side-scrolling puzzle-platformer gameplay to Limbo and retains its ambiguous nature. Inside has two endings: the main ending and an alternate ending.
To unlock the secret ending, players will first need to find and interact with all the secret orbs in the game. Inside has a total of 14 orbs, the last of which can only be accessed after players find all other 13.
If all the orbs are deactivated during a playthrough, the player unlocks the game's alternate ending. The boy can die in a multitude of ways, including drowning, being shot with a gun or tranquilizer dart, mauled by dogs, ensnared by security machines, being blown apart by shockwaves, and others.
Burnham spends the entirety of the special “inside” the one-room guesthouse of 1428 North Genesee. That's sort of the whole gimmick, the implication being that, because of the pandemic and its attendant lockdowns, he can't leave.
Production. Inside was filmed in the guest house of the Los Angeles home Burnham shared with his long-time girlfriend, filmmaker Lorene Scafaria, before they moved to a different property a few months after the release of the special; the guest house was also used for filming the end of Make Happy.
“Inside” was filmed at Cologne's MMC TV & Film Studios, where production designer Thorsten Sabel constructed a set that measured 26-ft. high and spanned more than 8,000 sq. ft.
Toward the end of Inside, players will find themselves - and the unnamed boy protagonist - absorbed into a creature known as the Huddle, which appears to be made up of human limbs and has been experimented on by scientists.
This is pretty much littered with spoilers. I believe that Inside is a direct symbolism for a human getting cancer, and depending on the ending, either being cured or succumbing to it. The boy is a benign tumor, sneaking his way unnoticed through the host. The game world is the human being itself.
The actor, known for his role as “Green Goblin” in the Spiderman franchise, earned the honorary doctorate of arts from the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee (UWM.)
Dafoe, who is also from Appleton, broke out his Wisconsin accent for them. While Saturday marked Dafoe's first time hosting SNL in his several decades of fame, as Katy Perry took on musical duties, it certainly wasn't his first time being part of an opening sequence on the show.
