Kate Winslet will receive the CineMerit Award at the 41st Munich International Film Festival at the 41st Munich International Film Festival. The award ceremony will coincide with the European premiere of Winslet’s latest film, “Lee,” in which she stars and serves as a producer.
European Premiere of “Lee”
“Lee” is a “wonderfully intense character portrait” that tells the story of pioneering war correspondent and photographer Lee Miller. Directed by Ellen Kuras and written by Liz Hannah, Marion Hume, and John Collee, the film features a talented ensemble cast including Marion Cotillard, Andrea Riseborough, Andy Samberg, Josh O’Connor, and Alexander Skarsgård.
Winslet’s acclaimed performances, such as in “Sense and Sensibility” and “The Reader,” have demonstrated her ability to convey deep emotions with subtlety and nuance. Festival directors praised “Lee” for its thoughtful approach, noting that it steps back from Miller’s achievements to focus on “the way she actually did it, usually with little encouragement and hardly any gratitude.”
