Lee

by

Lee, the directorial feature from award-winning Rockland County based Cinematographer Ellen Kuras, portrays a pivotal decade in the life of American war correspondent and photographer, Lee Miller (played by 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.
After the screening, Ellen Kuras will discuss her film with Nancy Savoca (Household Saints).
“Lee is a vivid and unforgettable tribute to one of the bold women who devoted her life to the penetration of male dominance to change the way we see the world. Don’t even think about missing it.” – Observer
Ellen Kuras was the 5th woman admitted to the American Society of Cinematographers, and the first women to be honored by them with a lifetime achievement award. Lee is her first film as director.
