Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Ellen Kuras is primarily a celebrated cinematographer (Eternal Sunshine, Summer of Sam)—this is her first narrative feature at age 68. Miller would've approved of the wait.
The real Lee Miller's photographs were buried in her attic until her son discovered them after her death; she never spoke of her war work. The film's framing device is painfully true.
