Lee, Kate Winslet is trailblazing photographer Lee Miller
Kate Winslet is powerful and passionate as the trailblazing American photographer Lee Miller. The film portrays a pivotal decade in her life, when she defied the rules and expectations of the time and travelled to Europe as war correspondent and photographer to report from the frontline. Miller's talent and tenacity resulted in some of World War II's and the 20th century's most significant and indelible images of war, its victims and its consequences. Notable photographs are threaded through the film. Miller changed war photography forever, but she also paid an enormous personal price for what she witnessed and the stories she fought to tell.
Adapted from the biography The Lives of Lee Miller written by her son, both Winslet and the filmmaker award-winning cinematographer turned director Ellen Kuras had access to Lee Miller's private archives. The film and Winslet's remarkable performance show how Miller lived her life at full-throttle in pursuit of truth.
