Three Thousand Years of Longing (2022) is an adult romantic fantasy drama directed by George Miller. The film stars Tilda Swinton as Alithea Binnie, a solitary scholar of narratology, and Idris Elba
But Alithea is too smart for the usual traps. She knows that wishes lead to ruin. So, instead of wishing, she asks him to talk. What follows is a lush, sprawling anthology of the Djinn’s past: his love for the Queen of Sheba, his imprisonment by a cunning concubine, and his centuries of agony. As his stories unfold, the sterile hotel room becomes a psychedelic desert of gold, blood, and magic.
