Idris Elba, Tilda Swinton, George Miller, the beautiful poster!

The creator of

Mad Max

and former president of the 2016 jury is back in Cannes for

Three thousand years waiting for

him to present out of competition.

Idris Elba plays a genie that comes out of a bottle to make wishes come true with Tilda Swinton, a lonely historian specializing in tales and legends.

The two stars, sublime, surrounded their director on Friday evening for the rise of the Marches and the first presentation of a tale that is both magical and romantic.

This beautiful story is indeed that of the meeting between two beings who do not have much in common, but who compete in class and charisma to get to know each other.

Myths and modernity

The film mischievously plays on ancient myths and takes the viewer down memory lane to discover the past life of the genius.

Idris Elba makes the character as mysterious as he is sexy in this very different take on Disney Studios' animated Aladdin.

Tilda Swinton, magnetic, lets herself be enchanted and so are we!

We understand that the return of George Miller surprised as much as charmed a Cannes public happy to see so many talents combined.
