Sky Original/Rocket Science/MS Partecipations/Brouhaha. 117m.

Memories of a former European-based American model for Vogue Magazine who turned photographer during World War II into some of its darkest corners.
From Mr. DiCaprio to his Titanic co-star, in an excellent star vehicle (and pet project) based fairly closely on history, and with a thoroughly convincing make-up for the elderly Lee Miller, even though this involves the old hackneyed convention of the flashback. Harrowing, moving and interesting, although none of it is particularly surprising.
