Roadside Attractions has released another trailer for Kate Winslet’s upcoming film Lee, which is a biopic about the famed war photographer Lee Miller.

Miller was a fashion model who became an acclaimed war correspondent for Vogue magazine during WWII. The film is described as a “fascinating portrait of the great American war correspondent Lee Miller, whose singular talent & ferocious tenacity gave us some of the 20th century's most indelible images…
“The story begins in the South of France, 1938, where Lee Miller is vacationing with her dearest and closest friends who are artists, poets, and confidants."
The film “portrays a pivotal decade in the life of American war correspondent and photographer, Lee Miller. Miller's singular talent and unbridled tenacity resulted in some of the 20th century's most indelible images of war, including an iconic photo of Miller herself, posing defiantly in Hitler's private bathtub.
“Lee Miller had a profound understanding and empathy for women and for the voiceless victims of war. Her images display both the fragility and ferocity of the human experience.
“Above all, the film shows how Miller lived her life at full-throttle in pursuit of truth, for which she paid a huge personal price, forcing her to confront a traumatic & deeply buried secret from her childhood.”
It’s explained that "Lee lived her life at full throttle, for which she paid a huge emotional price." It certainly looks like a well-made and incredible intense movie.
The film comes from director Ellen Kuras, who previously worked as a cinematographer and it also stars Alexander Skarsgård, Andrea Riseborough, Marion Cotillard, Josh O'Connor, Noémie Merlant, Samuel Barnett, and Andy Samberg as her photographer friend David E. Scherman who joined her on the front.
The film was adapted from the biography The Lives of Lee Miller by Antony Penrose. Roadside will release the movie in select US theaters on September 20th, 2024.
