258 - Three Thousand Years of Longing

This week we’re letting the Genie out of the bottle Aguilera-style, recounting tales of love, and catching up on the last three thousand years or so all while discussing the latest flick from fellow Aussie George Miller ‘Three Thousand Years of Longing’. Three Thousand Years of Longing is a 2022 fantasy romantic drama film directed by George Miller and starring Tilda Swinton and Idris Elba. Miller wrote the screenplay with Augusta Gore, adapting the 1994 short story "The Djinn in the Nightingale's Eye" by A. S. Byatt. Elba stars as a djinn who is freed by a professor (Swinton) and recounts his life to her. We Watched A Thing is supported by Dendy Cinemas Canberra.
