Hey guys! Horrorella here...
Though Amy Winehouse had rocketed to stardom and critical acclaim, she was gone far too soon, with so much left undone. This new documentary from director Asif Kapedia (SENNA) looks to provide a window into her life and career in her own words, featuring interviews and footage of the young artist, highlighting her incredible, if all too short career and providing a befitting farewell and closing chapter to her life.
From BAFTA award-winning director Asif Kapadia (SENNA), AMY tells the incredible story of six-time Grammy-winner Amy Winehouse – in her own words. Featuring extensive unseen archive footage and previously unheard tracks, this strikingly modern, moving and vital film shines a light on the world we live in, in a way that very few can.
A once-in-a-generation talent, Amy Winehouse was a musician that captured the world’s attention. A pure jazz artist in the most authentic sense – she wrote and sung from the heart using her musical gifts to analyse her own problems. The combination of her raw honesty and supreme talent resulted in some of the most unique and adored songs of the modern era.
Her huge success, however, resulted in relentless and invasive media attention which coupled with Amy’s troubled relationships and precarious lifestyle saw her life tragically begin to unravel. Amy Winehouse died from alcohol poisoning in July 2011 at the age of 27.
AMY opens in the U.K. on July 3rd, and is expected to open in the U.S. later this summer. What do you guys think?
