The new film LEE offers a memorable portrait of the great American war correspondent Lee Miller
The film opens in the South of France 1938, where Lee Miller, a former model and now determined photographer, vacations with her artistic friends. With war looming, she follows her love, art dealer Roland Penrose, to London, where she struggles against the restrictions on female photographers at British Vogue.
She eventually secures her own US War Accreditation and heads to Europe alone. Partnering with fellow photographer David E. Scherman, LEE captures pivotal moments of WWII, including the liberation of Paris and the horrors of the concentration camps.
Directed by Ellen Kuras and written by Liz Hannah, John Collee, and Marion Hume, LEE showcases the resilience of women in a male-dominated field.
The film features standout performances from Oscar winner Kate Winslet, Marion Cotillard, Andrea Riseborough, Andy Samberg, and Alexander Skarsgård.
