Lee (15)
Directed Ellen Kuras
NINE years in the making, this biopic tells the extraordinary story of surrealist muse and former model turned war correspondent and photojournalist Lee Miller, whose work resulted in some of the 20th century’s most indelible images of war.
Produced by and starring Kate Winslet as the trailblazing American Miller, it recounts how in 1944 she broke the rules by reporting from the front line in France for British Vogue even though women were banned from even attending military press briefings let alone seeing combat.
