Tre tusen års lengsel

Den stora spänningen ligger i om kloka och pålästa Alithea, hon som tror på logik och vetenskap, ska få ihop det med sin mystiske gäst, som kanske inte ens är verklig.

Like any good fable, there will be illusion, romance, and a timeless quality that spirits audiences to faraway lands. But there will also be the mundane: from Turkish hotel rooms to London residences.

...in its loopy, beguiling, occasionally befuddling way, Three Thousand Years of Longing feels like it’s trying—and sometimes failing—to sum something up about Miller’s own history of loving strange movie magic.

...a glossy cinematic knickknack steeped in the heady unreality of a fable, or a dream.

It’s a film that wears its heart on its sleeve; a love letter to storytelling, itself based on a short story by the Booker Prize-winning novelist A.S. Byatt.
