520    A captivating debut about Vogue model turned renowned 
       photographer Lee Miller, and her passionate affair with 
       the artist Man Ray in 1930s Paris.  "I'd rather take a 
       picture than be one," says Lee Miller after she arrives in
       Paris in 1929. Yearning for a different life and haunted 
       by her past, Lee leaves behind a successful modeling 
       career to pursue her dream of being an artist. She catches
       the eye of the famous Surrealist Man Ray, and though he 
       wants to use her only as a model, Lee convinces him to 
       teach her photography as well. Man Ray is an egotistical, 
       charismatic force, and their personal and professional 
       lives become intimately entwined as the lines between 
       maker and muse begin to blur.  Lee's story unfolds against
       the sumptuous backdrop of bohemian Paris, with nights 
       spent at smoky cabarets, opium dens, and wild parties, and
       days spent working with Man Ray to discover radical new 
       photography techniques. But as Lee begins to find success 
       as an artist in her own right, Man Ray's jealousy spirals 
       out of control, and soon their mutual betrayals threaten 
       to destroy them both.  Told in interweaving timelines of 
       1930s Paris and war-torn Europe during WWII, this sensuous,
       richly detailed debut by Whitney Scharer brings Lee Miller
       -- a brilliant and pioneering artist --out of the shadows 
       of a man's legacy and into the light.
