Pick of the week
Lee
Lee Miller’s life is the sadly familiar case of a female artist whose work has been overlooked because of her collaboration with a famous man, in this instance as a model for Man Ray. It’s her subsequent career as a war photographer that director Ellen Kuras and star Kate Winslet focus on in their fierce film. Winslet – in a role she was born to play – is the magnetic, forthright Lee, a woman who won’t take no for an answer. When the second world war breaks out, she nabs a job taking pictures for Vogue, getting herself front and centre for the London blitz, liberation of Europe and, chillingly, the discovery of the death camps – snapping away in fury and shock at the inhumanity she sees.
