Sky has released a dramatic movie trailer for their historical biopic LEE in which Kate Winslet plays a model who became a war photographer. It will hit cinemas in September. Andy Samberg plays Life Magazine photographer David E. Scherman, Alexander Skarsgård is English Surrealist painter, photographer, poet and biographer Roland Penrose, Marion Cotillard is Solange D’Ayen, the fashion director of French Vogue and close friend of Miller’s, while Josh O’Connor is Tony, a young journalist who interviews Lee.
THE FILM EXPLORES
the most significant decade of Lee Miller’s life. As a
middle-aged woman, she refused to be remembered as a model and male
artists’ muse. Lee Miller defied the expectations and rules of the time
by traveling to Europe to report from the frontline during WWII. There,
in part as a reaction to her own well-hidden trauma, she used her
Rolleiflex camera to give a voice to the voiceless. What she captured on
film in Dachau and throughout Europe was shocking and horrific. Her
photographs of the war, its victims and its consequences remain among
the most significant and historically important of the Second World War.
She changed war photography forever, but Lee Miller paid an enormous
personal price for what she witnessed and the stories she fought to
tell.
Love Kate Winslet! This sounds like a good film too.
ReplyDeleteShould be good with that cast, just hope they are sticking to her history.
DeleteSuch a dangerous but important job, and probably even more so for a women in those times. I haven't been on board with a lot of Kate's recent projects, but this, definitely.
ReplyDeleteShould be interesting to watch.
