Leonardo DiCaprio believes that his new movie Inception cannot be explained but needs to be experienced by audiences.
The actor returns to the big screen next week as he teams up with filmmaker Christopher Nolan, his first movie since The Dark Knight, for what could be the sci-fi event of the year.
DiCaprio stars as Dom Cobb, who can steal valuable secrets from deep within the subconscious during the dream state, when the mind is at its most vulnerable.
Speaking to the Scotsman the actor said: "This is a high concept film, and it's a film that's working on a multitude of levels simultaneously. And it's kind of a hard film to pitch. It's more of a film that you really need to experience.
"Chris is absolutely one of the best filmmakers out there and the truth is that it's hard to enter his mind in certain instances when he's talking about how this film is all going to piece together conceptually.
"But what he works with you on as an actor, and what's so vitally important, is the emotional narrative of your character and what your character means in that plot.
"With 'Inception', people will think that the film is beautiful but they will also see some powerful moments.
"You feel on the edge of your seat with the intensity of the plot structure, but there is also this psychological, sort of surreal journey that you go on with these characters that means something."
The movie brings together an all star cast that includes Oscar winners Michael Caine and Marion Cotillard, Oscar nominee Ellen Page, Joseph Gordon Levitt, Tom Hardy and Cillian Murphy.
Inception is released 16th July.
