Skin 2022: A new epic, mythological, and intimate film directed by Fury Road

Presented without competition in Cannes, “Three Thousand Years Waiting for You” is a unique experience, between an intimate drama and an epic film. Behind the camera we find some George Miller, the creator of the “Mad Max” franchise.

A post-apocalyptic western, a fantastic comedy with witches, an animated film about dancing penguins … George Miller has always distinguished himself in radically different genres. Before Fury – His Mad Max Prequel: The Road to Wrath – The director continues his search. For the three thousand years that await you, he draws inspiration from myths and fairy tales to present the work somewhere between intimate drama and epic film.

While traveling in Istanbul, Alitea (Tilda Swinton) buys a blue bottle in the Turkish market. Arriving at the hotel, he finds that there is a gin (Idris Elba) in the object. To maintain his freedom he has to fulfill three desires, but it does not seem to impress the woman in front of him. To convince him, Ginny tells him about his past, thousands of years ago.

There are two films in one Three thousand years are waiting for you. The first is behind closed doors: spectators witness a meeting between two characters locked in a hotel room. The second is a fantastic adventure, visually inventive with many special effects where creatures meet mythological figures such as Queen Sheba or King Solomon. George Miller goes to the end of his concept, even allowing himself some absurd reversals without making fun of himself.

In cinemas from 24 August
