Three Thousand Years of Longing Gets Six-Minute Standing Ovation at Cannes

Mad Max: Fury Road director George Miller is back with a very different cinematic beast, helming the romantic fantasy epic Three Thousand Years of Longing, which evidently impressed the audience at Cannes Film Festival 2022. Starring Idris Elba and Tilda Swinton, Three Thousand Years of Longing reportedly earned a six-minute standing ovation after its world premiere at Cannes’ Palais theater. Clearly, Three Thousand Years of Longing must be something special.
