‘They were stupid little girls,

not intelligent enough to feel ashamed.

They’d been living with Hun boyfriend

since the first week of the occupation’

Lee

video trailer Canal+ 13 September 2024

Kate Winslet stars in LEE.

We’re proud to bring the story of the great American war correspondent Lee Miller

to cinemas across Germany September 19 and Australia & New Zealand October 24.

Oscar winner Kate Winslet stars

in this fascinating portrait of the great American war correspondent Lee Miller,

whose singular talent and ferocious tenacity gave us

some of the 20th century’s most indelible images.

A former model,

Lee is now tired of being viewed through a lens and by men,

and focusses on her own work as a photographer.

As the threat of war looms,

everything about their daily lives changes completely, almost overnight.

Frustrated by the restrictions placed on female photographers at the time,

who are limited to documenting life on the home front,

Miller urges her female boss at British Vogue,

to request permission for Lee to go to the frontline.

With a profound understanding and empathy for women

and for the voiceless victims of atrocious crimes,

her images feature both the fragility and ferocity of the human ability to survive,

exist, fight, defend and live

Elizabeth 'Lee' Miller USA 1907-1977

Beginning her career as a Vogue model,

Elizabeth “Lee” Miller had a profound impact

on 20th century art and photojournalism.

Her work behind the camera

first as a Surrealist photographer

and later as a war correspondent

expanded the boundaries

of photographic expression.
