Synopsis: The incredible life of LEE MILLER, former Vogue model and Man Ray muse, who became one of the first female war photographers.

Her courage and determination redefined the role of women in war photography and reporting.
Lee Miller will appeal to fans of biopics and historical dramas, as well as those interested in stories of pioneering women. The film should appeal to audiences who have enjoyed works such as Une femme d'exception or Les Heures sombres, both of which focus on prominent historical figures. What sets Lee Miller apart from other biopics is not only the focus on a woman who defied the social norms of her time, but also the way the film explores the power of image in a world at war. The visual aspect will be particularly important, and with Ellen Kuras, known for her work as cinematographer on films such as Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, we can expect a polished and immersive production.
