On the big screen: Amy
Starring: Amy Winehouse, Mitch Winehouse and Yasiin Bey.
Directed by: Asif Kapadia.
Asif Kapadia’s much-talked-about documentary follows Amy Winehouse from the early days of her extraordinary career, until the heart-breaking end.
Relying mainly on never-before-shown footage, this intimate documentary traces the journey of the talented jazz-singer/songwriter until she achieved levels of fame no one could have dreamed of and the impacts on Winehouse and her family.
Where media headlines focused on the drug addict, Kapadia’s attention is on the extraordinarily gifted artist who got mired in drug abuse and self-destruction.
Among the many awards Asif Kapadia has won are the 2016 Academy Awards for Best Documentary and the British Academy Film Awards equivalent.
