Some guy has dissected the "impossible" layout of the hotel in The Shining. I watched it all and came out pretty amazed over how Escher influenced Kubrick seemed to be for that movie.

Very interesting. Kind of makes me want to rewatch The Shining soon...

I also wish Inception utilized such complex, maze-like set design.

Hehe, maybe someone will spot something hidden in Inception in 30 years ;)

There's that, but I guess I also mean getting a real sense of the maze-like atmosphere. We never really had characters exploring their environment in continuous ways like the characters in The Shining did.
