Amy

Asif Kapadia, James Gay-Rees, 127 min, UK.


After the award-winning success Senna, the director Asif Kapadia presents a documentary on another icon - AMY.

Although she only published two albums, Amy Winehouse is one of the greatest music icons of British history. Amy Winehouse was a pop star with soul and a cross-border musical talent with a voice often described as a mix of Billy Holiday, Dinah Washington and Sarah Vaughan. 

The film shows life behind the sensational headlines, the story of an incredibly talented artist who died too young .

”Captures the very heart of what she was about, which is an amazing person and a true musical genius.” Telegraph
