Movie Reviews of Lee Miller: Through the Mirror
Movie Review: Fascinating
Summary: 4 Stars
Elizabeth (Lee) Miller (1907-1977) achieved fame in front of and behind the camera as a leading fashion model and muse to famous artists in the 20s and 30s, including Man Ray, and as a fashion and news photographer. This brief documentary follows her life and career through photos, films she appeared in, and interviews with people who knew her, including photographer David Sherman and her son Tony -- who grew up to become a ... dairy farmer, despite having Lee and the British surrealist painter Ronald Penrose for parents!
Certainly worth watching for a rare glimpse at a woman who was both beautiful and talented -- though despite all her success she seems to have felt that no one really loved her. It is not made clear why she felt that way or how exactly she wanted to be loved. Perhaps insights along those lines are buried in the archive her son has assembled. I would recommend a quick look at the Wikipedia entry under her name, where the reader will learn some suprising facts left out of this documentary.
