Three Thousand Years of Longing - a fantastical love story about desire

As the opening credits for Three Thousand Years of Longing, I noted George Miller’s name, somewhere in my brain - I managed to put together George Miller and Mad Max Fury Road - so already I knew to expect something a bit mad and off the wall. It’s worth noting that George Miller’s back catalogue includes (amongst Mad Max movies) Babe, Babe: Pig in The City (a film that I will not hear a bad word said about) and Happy Feet. Interestingly, I’ve only recently just watched Mad Max Fury Road for the first time and I absolutely adored it. So I had hopes of Three Thousand Years of Longing being a bit strange, ethereal, full of heart and enjoyable. I’d say most of those expectations were met but in other places, it falls a little short of expectations.
