Explore the life of Lee Miller in the upcoming biographical drama.
Roadside Attractions and Vertical will release “LEE,” a powerful biographical drama, in U.S. theaters on September 27, 2024. Directed by Ellen Kuras, an acclaimed cinematographer making her feature directorial debut, the film stars Oscar-winner Kate Winslet as the trailblazing war correspondent and photographer Lee Miller.
The film dives deep into a pivotal decade of Miller’s life, focusing on her work as a war correspondent during World War II.
The film captures Miller’s relentless pursuit of truth through her lens, documenting the horrors of war with an unflinching eye. Her photographs, including the famous image of herself in Hitler’s private bathtub, became some of the most iconic images of the 20th century. The film showcases Miller’s unique empathy for women and those silenced by the ravages of war. It brings attention to the fragility and resilience of the human spirit. However, Miller’s pursuit of truth comes at a personal cost, forcing her to confront a deeply buried childhood trauma.
Kate Winslet leads a star-studded cast including Josh O’Connor, Andrea Riseborough, Andy Samberg, Alexander Skarsgård, and Marion Cotillard. Winslet, known for her versatility and depth, brings her formidable talent to the role of Miller, capturing the complexity of a woman driven by passion and haunted by her past.
A series of acclaimed performances in both independent films and blockbuster hits have marked Winslet’s career. She first rose to international fame with her role in “Titanic” (1997), which became one of the highest-grossing films of all time. Over the years, Winslet has consistently chosen roles that challenge her, earning Academy Awards, BAFTAs, and Golden Globes for her work in films such as “The Reader” (2008), “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” (2004), and “Steve Jobs” (2015). With “LEE,” Winslet continues her tradition of portraying strong, complex women, and Kuras’ direction promises a visually stunning and emotionally resonant film.
