Fantasy film ‘Three Thousand Years of Longing’ is now being shown in five Sri Lankan cinemas.

They are LSC – Liberty by Scope Cinemas; CCC – Colombo City Centre; PVR Colombo 2, KCC – Kandy City Centre and Majestic – Colombo 04.

Directed by George Miller, ‘Three Thousand Years of Longing’ main cast includes 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.

While attending a conference in Istanbul, Dr. Alithea Binnie happens to encounter a djinn who offers her three wishes in exchange for his freedom. This presents two problems: first, she doubts that he’s real, and second, because she’s a scholar of story and mythology, she knows all the cautionary tales of wishes gone wrong. The djinn plead his case by telling her fantastical stories of his past. Eventually, she’s beguiled and makes a wish that surprises them both.
