Furthermore, the film is a meditation on . Both Alithea and the Djinn are, in their own way, trapped—she in her academic comfort, he in his bottles. They mirror each other’s longing. The Djinn, though a powerful, supernatural being, experiences profound isolation, a state he shares with a woman who has convinced herself she does not need anyone.

George Miller’s 2022 film Three Thousand Years of Longing (Polish title: Trzy tysiące lat tęsknoty ), based on A.S. Byatt’s short story "The Djinn in the Nightingale's Eye," is a visually lavish, intellectually demanding, and deeply emotional exploration of human desire. It stands as a sharp contrast to Miller's high-octane Mad Max: Fury Road , offering a quiet, introspective fairy tale for adults that argues that stories are not merely entertainment, but essential tools for understanding the human condition. Through the unlikely romance between a pragmatic narratologist and a mythological spirit, the film tackles themes of love, loneliness, and the dangers of unbridled wishing.
The story follows Dr. Alithea Binnie (Tilda Swinton), a scholar who "studies stories" and is perfectly content with her solitary life, having learned to manage the loneliness following a divorce. During a trip to Istanbul, she buys an antique bottle and accidentally releases a Djinn (Idris Elba). The Djinn offers her three wishes, which she, knowing the cautionary nature of such stories, is reluctant to make. The core of the film is a series of flashbacks, where the Djinn narrates his 3,000-year history of imprisonment, revealing that his longing for freedom is matched only by his deep, forbidden love for humanity and its capacity for stories.
