CHICAGO – Patrick McDonald of HollywoodChicago.com appears on “The Morning Mess” with Dan Baker on WBGR-FM (Monroe, Wisconsin) on August 25th, reviewing “Three Thousand Years of Longing,” a magic lamp three wishes story for the ages. The film is in theaters beginning August 26th.
Tilda Swinton portrays Alithea Binnie, a narrative-ologist, meaning a scholar who analyzes what makes stories work. She lives by choice a solitary life, but it not unhappy. When she begins to have visions at a story conference in Istanbul, it culminates in the purchase of a ancient glass bottle. In her hotel room the bottle explodes, and out pops a Djinn (Idris Elba) … or male Genie … and he grants her the requisite three wishes. What happens next is what neither of them expected, as Ali-thea naturally wants to hear the Djinn’s story.
