LEE,

a film I will be looking out for, 


image Vanity Fair, the film is based on a 1985 biography The Lives of Lee Miller by Antony Penrose, from a fashion model to the horrors of Dachau, LEE looks to be a 'must watch' film, from the blurb:

• Lee 1927: New York. Classically beautiful, she is discovered by Condé Nast and immortalized by Steichen, Hoyningen-Huene, Horst, and other famous photographers.
• Lee 1929: Paris. Protégé and lover of Man Ray, she invents with him the solarization technique of photography and develops into a brilliant Surrealist photographer.
• Lee 1939-1945: Europe. She becomes a U.S. war correspondent and covers the liberation of Paris. Her photographs of the Dachau concentration camp shock the world.

These are but three of the many lives of Lee Miller, intimately recorded here by her son, Antony Penrose, whose years of work on her photographic archives unearthed a rich selection of her finest work, including portraits of her friends Picasso, Braque, Ernst, Eluard, and Miró. 

here is a trailer for the film, and if like myself you want to watch the film here are the release dates:
