To a fantastical drama largely set within the confines of a hotel room, in which a genie (Idris Elba) has a series of conversations with a woman (Tilda Swinton) and relays his life’s story. [We spoke with Miller about why and how he made]( “Three Thousand Years of Longing,” and also about his unmade version of “Contact” that never saw the light of day (he says his take was more Kubrickian) and how his “Fury Road” prequel “Furiosa” is a saga that takes place over the course of 15 years.
