31 分钟When you think about so many people who came back from the war, you know, they fell into silence.
They didn't talk about what happened to them.
And we didn't know to ask in many ways or people didn't dare ask cause they knew that they, these people wanted to bury the past much like Lee did.
And so, you know, it's another reminder for us of making our own history and going back to the past and asking those questions.
Hello and welcome back to the Director's Cut, brought to you by the Directors Guild of America.
In this episode, the life of famed war photographer Lee Miller is explored in director Ellen Curis biopic Lee.
The film tells the true story of Lee Miller, who in the 1940s decides to abandon her career as a fashion model and become Vogue's war correspondent during World War II.
Capturing the extremes of the human experience in some of the most indelible images of war, Lee cements herself as one of the greatest war photographers of the 20th century.
In addition to Lee Curis, other directorial credits include episodes of the television series Ozark Legion, the Umbrella Academy and the Terminal List, and episodes of the miniseries Catch 22 and Inventing Anna.
Following a screening of the film at the DGA Theater in Los Angeles, Kira spoke with director Philip Noyce about filming Lee.
Listen on for their spoiler filled conversation.
Good evening.
Good evening everyone.
Congratulations on the film.
Thank you.
Beautiful.
I think at one point Audrey Withers, the editor of Vogue, says when she's looking at Lee's photographs, only a woman could have taken these.
And I would say only a woman could have made this story in the way that you did.
Thank you, Philip.
So where does it all begin for you, this adventure in the screen?
