Cinematographer Ellen Kuras, who was hired by actor to make her directorial debut, says biopic of photojournalist shows woman plunged ‘into heart of darkness’
released in cinemas this week, wanted to portray American Miller as “a truth-seeker and a truth-teller”. She felt that Miller brought a particular sensitivity when she reported on the battle of Saint-Malo in the second world war, field hospitals in Normandy and the Dachau and Buchenwald concentration camps.
She said that previous attempts to make a film about Miller had tended to be more from a male perspective, showing her as a “damaged woman” rather than understanding the toll that the war took on her. “She was not unlike a lot of people who returned from the war, who had PTSD, and couldn’t talk about what happened,” she added.
“Lee is a great role model because she wasn’t given the opportunity to become a war correspondent. She went out and found it. She followed her own intuition in the pursuit of telling the truth and the pursuit of justice.”Winslet said last month she had refused to hide her “belly rolls” in the film during a scene in which she is wearing a bikini.
