A new clip from George Miller's 'Three Thousand Years of Longing' sees an academic struggling to make a wish.
While the summer blockbuster season may be coming to a close, August has presented itself as a great month for smaller scale releases. One of the more interesting films releasing this month is the George Miller directed fantasy drama Three Thousand Years of Longing, based on A.S. Byatt short story The Djinn in the Nightingale’s Eye, starring Idris Elba and Tilda Swinton.
The clip “Wish We Never Met” sees Elba’s Djinn and Swinton’s Dr Alithea Binnie clashing over the idea of the latter’s ability to think of three wishes. The Djinn needs Alithea to make the three wishes so that he can be set free, but Alithea is content with her life can’t accept the idea. However, after a few more moments of bickering, Alithea accidentally wishes that the two had never met. That appears to be a big mistake and the clip ends with the Djinn’s container broken.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Three Thousand Years of Longing has a lot of things going for it. Besides the classic set up of seeing what someone would do with the power of “three wishes”, the film seems to blend together a uniquely vibrant and adventurous tone with an emotionally weighty story about discovering what we personally desire/our self-worth.
Until Three Thousand Years of Longing starts its magical theatrical run on August 26, you can watch its new clip down below.
