"3,000 years of longing" – 1/9
Legendary Australian director George Miller ("Mad Max: Fury Road", "Babe") presents an intimate, romantic and imaginative tale about the craft of storytelling.
The great Tilda Swinton plays a brilliant (but lonely) academic who specializes in ancient mythologies and folktales.
During a conference in Istanbul, she purchases an ancient bottle and a giant genie (Idris Elba) emerges from it, granting her three wishes.
Between wishes, the genie also tells her the story of his life and shares with her the fantastic circumstances and lessons that led to his imprisonment in the bottle.

"David Bowie: Moonage Daydream" on 9/15
A comprehensive, fascinating and visually wild docu-film about the life and work of the genius English musician David Bowie.
Director Brett Morgan ("Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck") was honored to be the first filmmaker to receive free access to the late musician's private archives, and the result is a colorful, immersive and, of course, music-filled celebration that wonderfully demonstrates Bowie's evolutionary, revolutionary and unpredictable nature.
A must for fans (but not only).
