FilmSunday: Lee

Based on the memoir “The Lives of Lee Miller” by Antony Penrose.

It took eight years to make and was the debut film of Ellen Kuras who was previously a cinematographer. It was nominated for Outstanding British Film at the Baftas in 2025.

It tells the story of Lee Miller – played by Kate Winslet –  an American model turned photographer who chronicled WW2. Her photographs are iconic and she was the first person to photograph Buchenwald concentration camp – photographs which haunted her throughout her life.

Winslet powerfully conveys Miller’s tough-broad magnetism in this sobering, visually striking drama by cinematographer turned director Ellen Kuras.
