LOS ANGELES (AP) — Willem Dafoe has said that, for him, the process of making a movie always eclipses the finished product. But after more than 130 film credits, the 67-year-old actor has finally found a project whose final form is on par with the experience of creating it. “Inside” follows an art thief named Nemo who gets trapped inside a collector’s apartment during a botched heist. More than just a psychological thriller, “Inside” considers the ways in which art rescues humans from an isolated existence – a way out from being trapped inside of ourselves. “Inside” hits theaters March 17.
