Beetlejuice Beetlejuice

We’re turning on the juice and seeing what shakes loose at our cinema with screenings of Tim Burton’s long-awaited sequel until Saturday 28 September!

The film 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 by traveling to Europe to report from the frontline during WWII. 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 she 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 Miller paid an enormous personal price for what she witnessed and the stories she fought to tell.

Screening from Wednesday 8 October, Kate Winslet stars in the fascinating story of an American photographer who captured some of the most important images of WWII.
