Australian visionary George Miller (Mad Max: Fury Road) returns with a mythical ode to the power of storytelling. While attending a conference in Istanbul, lonely academic Dr. Alithea Binnie (Tilda Swinton) happens to encounter a djinn (Idris Elba) who offers her three wishes in exchange for his freedom. As a scholar of story and mythology, Alithea is hesitant - after all, she knows all the cautionary tales of wishes gone wrong. Pleading his case, the djinn tells her fantastical stories of his past. Stunningly ambitious and packed with dazzling visuals, THREE THOUSAND YEARS OF LONGING is a fantasy extravaganza with a playful sense of humour.
