In conjunction with the Miami Jewish Film Festival, the Cosford Cinema invites you to a free preview screening of “Lee,” the true story of a fashion photographer who became a war correspondent during World War II, starring Kate Winslet. The screening will be held at 7:30 p.m. Monday, Sept. 16.
LEE | 2023 | DIRECTOR: Ellen Kuras | WITH: Kate Winslet, Alexander Skarsgard, Andy Samberg, Andrea Riseborough, Marion Cotillard, Josh O’Connor | RUNNING TIME: 1 HOUR 56 MINUTES | RATED R for disturbing images, language and nudity | PROJECTED IN 4K DCP
The directorial feature from award-winning cinematographer Ellen Kuras portrays a pivotal decade in the life of American war correspondent and photographer, Lee Miller (Kate Winslet).
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.
Miller had a profound understanding and empathy for women and 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 and deeply buried secret from her childhood.
“In a lifetime of well-chosen roles, this may be Kate Winslet’s richest. She gives us a restless, fierce, independent woman who found her voice as a witness to war, and paid the psychological price. To direct, Winslet brought on the great cinematographer Ellen Kuras, who worked with her on “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind,” and who shapes the film with supreme authority and intelligent choices at every turn. — Caryn James, BBC
