Three Thousand Years of Longing [Opens Aug. 26 in theaters.] George Miller's complicated, multifaceted, poignant, fascinating, well-acted, visually stunning, 108-minute fantasy film adapted from A. S. Byatt's 1994 short story The Djinn in the Nightingale's Eye and reminiscent of Arabian Nights in which a lonely, reserved, cynical, skeptical, English literary scholar and narratologist (Tilda Swinton) goes to Turkey to attend a conference and to give a lecture, purchases an ancient bottle in an Istanbul antique shop, and ends up releasing a trapped, immortal Djinn (Idris Elba) who tells her the story of his life and fate of past owners (Burcu Gölgedar, Aamito Stacie, et al.) while trying to grant the reluctant academic three heartfelt wishes in exchange for his freedom.
