Three Thousand Years of Longing

When attending a conference in Istanbul, a narratologist discovers a glass bottle that releases a djinn who grants her three wishes.

The impossible dreaming of three mythical wishes lends this story a must-watch element. What to wish for, and what might be regretted? To quote the academic who listens to the genie's story, "this wishing is a hazardous business." The essence of "3000 Years of Longing" is love without constraints, yearning but not holding one's beloved captive. Viewing is a pleasure, and the movie is richly rendered and CGI enhanced with stories spanning millennia related at an unhurried pace. Djinn's a tonic.
