“Every story with three wishes comes with a warning.” This is what this original, brilliant but imperfect “Once upon a time there was a genius” (its original title is “Three thousand years of waiting”) is about, which tells the story of the relationship between a London academic, an expert in narrative, and the genius she has freed from a old bottle bought in Istanbul. Idris Elba is that character eager to grant his savior the three wishes, and swears that he has no ulterior motive in granting them, he just wants to break free from his prison in a bottle. Tilda Swinton is the academic who knows the story of “The Thousand and One Nights” well enough not to dare to make any wishes. So George Miller, the veteran director of the “Mad Max” saga, who was inactive since his return in 2015, puts all his fantasy and narrative vertigo at the service of this surprising duel between genius and savior.
