From Oscar-winning filmmaker George Miller (Mad Max: Fury Road) comes the romantic fantasy, Three Thousand Years of Longing. Tilda Swinton stars as Dr. Alithea Binnie, an academic … a creature of reason. While in Istanbul, she happens to encounter a Djinn (Idris Elba) who offers her three wishes in exchange for his freedom. At first, she doubts that he is real and she knows all the cautionary tales of wishes gone wrong. But the Djinn pleads his case by telling her fantastical stories of his past. Eventually she is beguiled and makes a wish that surprises them both. Based on the short story “The Djinn in the Nightingale’s Eye” by A.S. Byatt. (Dir. by George Miller, 2022, Australia/USA, 108 mins., Rated R)
