Lee (2024)

Framed by an interview with a young journalist (Josh O’Connor) in the 1970s, the story of Lee Miller (Kate Winslet) is told in flashbacks, in reality, adapted to the screen from a book written by the real-life Lee’s son when he found his mother’s photographs of World War II after she had passed away. We’re taken back to France in 1938, where Lee, a former model, is living it up with her artist friends such as Marion Cotillard and Noemie Merlant, exploring her new photography hobby while hanging out together topless and talking about the impending rise of Hitler. She meets Roland (Alexander Skarsgard), a painter and historian, and the two spark up a passionate romance. He convinces her to head back to London with him., but as the war rages on, Lee is itching to be involved, so she heads to the offices of British Vogue and secures a photography job from the editor, Audrey (Andrea Riseborough). After some time capturing the effects of war in London, Lee decides to branch out and applies for full war correspondent credentials, which were rarely given to women. She’s denied by the British but is able to gain access to the field via American channels, eventually teaming up with American photographer David Scherman (Andy Samberg) to take first-hand photos of the devastation. Kate’s cans come out two more times, once while being covered in paint for an art project, and again when recreating the now infamous photo of her in Hitler’s bathtub. War is hell but Kate’s hooters are heavenly!
