Three Thousand Years of Longing is a film that manages to be compelling, magical, and very human all at one. It's a film that deals with a mystical concept but at its core, is about the basic need to feel loved and wanted, and the sacrifices that come with it.
It's also a huge love letter to story telling. A big chunk of the narrative structure is made up of the two leads regailing tales to eachother, and it's relentlessly engaging and wholesome. Tilda Swinton is fantastic, as she tends to be. Idris Elba has always been a bit hit and miss for me, but he also excels here, and the chemistry between the two of them is strong and sweet.
Throw in a heart wrenching score from Junkie XL and the unique visionary work of George Miller, and you're left with a piece that is built to bury itself into your mind and stay there for a while. A truly wonderful experience.
