Oscar winner Kate Winslet stars alongside Alexander Skarsgård in this fascinating true portrait of model turned WWII correspondent Lee Miller. Selected Toronto FF.

American Miller was enjoying a dissipated life with her bohemian friends in France, having abandoned modelling for photography, when WWII broke out. Joining her artist lover (Skarsgård) in London, she takes up a job at British Vogue documenting the home front. The intrepid Miller finds the job stifling, so she hustles her way through bureaucratic hurdles to the frontline. In France, she joins forces with photojournalist David E. Scherman (Andy Samberg), and together they document Europe’s devastation. Miller’s trailblazing career is vividly recreated by award winning cinematographer turned director Ellen Kuras. The brilliant cast also includes Marion Cotillard, Josh O’Connor, Andrea Riseborough and Noémie Merlant.

Limited seats are available for patrons requiring access for wheelchairs, low vision and hearing loop. Please contact our ticketing team directly on 1300 733 733 or tickets@sff.org.au to complete your booking.
A satisfyingly textured portrait of a remarkable and unusual woman, who had an almost Zelig-like gift for bearing witness to key moments in history

Lee asks you to look at subjects you think you already know from a different angle, and witness what should never be forgotten
