Three Thousand Years Of Longing

Tilda Swinton, Idris Elba, directed by George fucking Miller.

Woah. Serious Terry Gilliam vibes. Totally down for this.

[HaemishM]

That's a yes from me.

perfect trailer, no notes

[Khaldun]

Yeah, grabbed my attention tons but didn't explain too much or give away the plot as such.

I just watched this and it was very good.  Terry Gilliam vibes indeed.

I couldn't really get over the "sexually repressed white woman summons a big Black genie to solve her problem" vibes in the trailer. Is the film something different than that?

It's decent but it didn't really stick with me.

It's not really like that.

I'd say Tilda Swinton's character comes off as asexual more than repressed.  But the movie is really more about Idris Elba's character than hers.  Her story is a framing device for his story.
