Lucy Fenwick Elliott speaks to director Ellen Kuras about her new film Lee, cinemas now, starring Kate Winslet. LEE tells the story of Lee Miller, American photographer.Determined to document the truth of the Nazi regime, and in spite of the odds stacked against female correspondents, Lee captured some of the most important images of World War II, for which she paid an enormous personal price. The film is not a biopic, instead it explores the most significant decade of Lee Miller’s life. As a middle-aged woman, she refused to be remembered as a model and male artists’ muse. Lee Miller defied the expectations and rules of the time and travelled to Europe to report from the frontline.There, in part as a reaction to her own well-hidden trauma, she used her Rolleiflex camera to give a voice to the voiceless. What Lee captured on film in Dachau and throughout Europe was shocking and horrific.Her photographs of the war, its victims and its consequences remain among the most significant and historically important of the Second World War.She changed war photography forever, but Lee paid an enormous personal price for what she witnessed and the stories she fought to tell.

Freda Cooper talks to director Anand Tucker and co-stars Ian McKellen and Gemma Arterton about their new film, The Critic, in cinemas now. THE CRITIC is a deliciously dark and sharp-witted thriller set in 1930s London ‘theatreland’ featuring an all-star cast including Ian McKellen, Gemma Arterton, Mark Strong, Ben Barnes, Alfred Enoch, Romola Garai and Lesley Manville. When the most feared and vicious theatre critic in town Jimmy Erskine (McKellen), finds himself suddenly in the crosshairs of the Daily Chronicle’s new owner David Brooke (Strong), he strikes a sinister Faustian pact with struggling actress Nina Land (Arterton) who is desperate to win his favour.
