Why watch this film?
Directed by George Miller ("Mad Max: Fury Road"), "Three Thousand Years of Longing" is definitely an unusual and unexpected movie. After all, the story, which is nothing more than a contemporary fable, tells the journey of Alithea (Tilda Swinton), a lonely woman who lives almost exclusively for her profession: the study of letters, characters and narratives that cross history. But during a conference in Turkey, her life changes. A new love? A new job? A tragedy? None of that: inadvertently, she finds a genie (Idris Elba) who grants her three wishes. From then on, Miller, who signs the script alongside Augusta Gore and based on the story by A.S. Byatt, does magic. As if it were nothing, he puts the Genie - who has nothing to do with the blue creature from "Aladdin" - to tell stories. A contemporary and intelligent rereading of "One Thousand and One Nights", mixing different elements and images and thus creating a story that brings the fable into a new context. It's pure Miller, surprising in form and language, with performances that make everything even tastier, frank and unusual. Click here to read the full review.

From the same director
Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome
The conclusion of the original Mad Max trilogy with Mel Gibson, unforgettable for its famous Thunderdome and the song "We Don't Need Another Hero" by Tina Turner.
Mad Max
A classic movie, made on a low budget in Australia and that launched Mel Gibson and director George Miller to stardom. A real lesson on how to make a movie in the genre.
Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior
Many consider it the high point of the original Mad Max trilogy. In this movie, Director George Miller takes his vision of humanity's future, still haunted by the oil crisis, to the extreme.
The Aviator
Christopher Reeve was a great aviation enthusiast, with that passion becoming clear in the movie.
Mad Max: Fury Road
One of the best action movies of the 2010s, perhaps the best. After all, filmmaker George Miller returns to the franchise that put him in the spotlight of Hollywood to completely repaginate the production of the story. Out goes Mel Gibson and in comes Tom Hardy. In addition, he takes his foot off of exaggerated masculinity to bring on one of the most remarkable female characters in contemporary cinema with the figure of Furiosa (Charlize Theron). It's a tense and intense movie, which doesn't follow basic script standards, bringing action to the surface from the beginning of the film. Even if you're not a fan of action dystopias, it's hard not to get enthusiastic and excited about the feature.
Sci-Fi & Fantasy
Megalopolis
An architect wants to rebuild New York City as a utopia following a devastating disaster.
Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga
As the world falls, young Furiosa is snatched from the Green Place of Many Mothers into the hands of a great biker horde led by the warlord Dementus. Sweeping through the wasteland, they encounter the citadel presided over by Immortan Joe. The two tyrants wage war for dominance, and Furiosa must survive many trials as she puts together the means to find her way home.
Dredd
In the future, America is a dystopian wasteland. The latest scourge is Ma-Ma, a prostitute-turned-drug pusher with a dangerous new drug and aims to take over the city. The only possibility of stopping her is an elite group of urban police called Judges, who combine the duties of judge, jury and executioner to deliver a brutal brand of swift justice. But even the top-ranking Judge, Dredd, discovers that taking down Ma-Ma isn’t as easy as it seems in this explosive adaptation of the hugely popular comic series.
Rebel Moon - Part Two: The Scargiver
It was said about the first installment, and it can be said about Netflix's Rebel Moon (Part Two): it is a movie that only Zack Snyder fans will enjoy. The film continues to be a copy of the classic 'Seven Samurai', but in space: our heroes, led by Kora (Sofia Boutella), return to their small agricultural moon to prepare the defense against the invaders from the Empire. The story unfolds in a predictable manner (even more so if you've seen Kurosawa's classic), with Snyder's usual stylistic vices: overuse of slow motion and gratuitous Christian symbolism. If you liked the previous one (or the director's other movies), you will undoubtedly enjoy it. Otherwise, it might be better to skip it.
