Lee is an intimate portrayal of former model and fearless World War Two photographer Lee Miller. With Kate Winslet playing Lee, the movie covers the most significant decade of her life and also stars Big Little Lies actor Alexander Skarsgård, Andrea Riseborough, Josh O’Connor and Marion Cotillard. 

Lee will show how Miller used her camera to give a voice to the voiceless and, consequently, how her shocking and horrific photographs, taken at Dachau concentration camp and around Europe, remain some of the most historically important of the second world war. 

“To me, she was a life force to be reckoned with, so much more than an object of attention from famous men with whom she is associated,” says Kate Winslet, who is also a producer on the movie. “This photographer, writer, reporter, did everything she did with love, lust, and courage, and is an inspiration of what you can achieve, and what you can bear, if you dare to take life firmly by the hands and live it at full throttle.”
