LEE, 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 Winslett). 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.
The film stars Kate Winslet, Josh O’Connor, Andrea Riseborough, Andy Samberg, Alexander Skarsgård & Marion Cotillard.
Roadside Attractions and Vertical will release LEE only in theaters on September 27th, 2024.

00:15Just Lee is fine.
00:17Just Lee.
00:18We don't send one into combat.
00:23Well, that's a problem, because I'm here.
00:28Welcome to Vogue Magazine.
00:30I hear you're the woman to see about a job.
00:32Audrey Withers.
00:33Yes, I am.
00:34I've seen your photographic work.
00:35You're really very impressive.
00:36You dislike anyone who questions you, especially when you know you're wrong, and you have secrets,
00:49many that you'll never share.
00:54I'm never wrong.
00:55That's our Lee.
00:56It happened so slowly, yet kind of overnight.

01:15I'm heading to the front.
01:16Ready to go?
01:17That's not what I thought you were going to say.
01:23We drove into the worst of it all.
01:26Need a light over here.
01:29Here?
01:30Here?
01:31I stay away from that window.
01:34They got snipers.
01:35They're gone.
01:36Everyone's gone.
01:37Even when I wanted to look away, I knew I couldn't.
01:51It was not something I'd heard about or imagined.
02:06It was real.
02:21It was real.
