According to Blikk, Budapest’s Puskin Art Cinema hosted the crew screening of Lee, the newest film of Winslet (Titanic, The Reader, Mare of Easttown, Revolutionary Road) and Skarsgard (True Blood, Battleship, The Legend of Tarzan, Big Little Lies, The Northman). The screening was held on Saturday, and the cinema shared photos of the two main protagonists, who play a married couple in the film directed by Ellen Kuras.
The film follows the life of Lee Miller, an American fashion model who became a celebrated war photojournalist for Vogue magazine during the Second World War. The production shows how she made her first report for Vogue about the nurses working in hospitals and her departure to the continent to continue the work despite the bureaucratic obstacles authorities set for women. As a result, she could take photos of the siege of St. Malo and the liberation of Paris. She was the only woman photojournalist advancing with the Allied forces across Europe.
She was in Normandy after the D-Day and documented the Buchenwald and Dachau concentration camps. Later, she snapped how Hitler’s Berchtesgaden home, the so-called “Eagle’s Nest”, was burning.
