Monumentally loved by all who met her, Amy Winehouse quickly rose to fame with her quirky image and extraordinary vocal style. But this was a woman who fell in love easily, and fell hard. A woman not equipped to deal with the press attention that lay before her. A woman too troubled to say no to anything that would help ease the pain of fame. After releasing a set of internationally acclaimed hits such as 'Rehab' and 'Back To Black', she was discovered dead in her home at the age of just 27, following a typical night of heavy binge drinking back in 2011. There were those who adored her and what she brought to music, but there were also those who would to anything to discredit her for a headline story. And headlines are exactly what they got.
This hard-hitting documentary details the innocent beginnings of a young singer-songwriter, her rise to super-stardom, and her ultimate fall from grace. 'Amy' has been directed by BAFTA winner Asif Kapadia ('Senna', 'The Warrior', 'Far North') and produced by James Gay-Rees ('The Quiet Ones', 'Blackball', 'Senna'), and it features a breath-taking collection of previously unseen early footage. The film is scheduled for release on July 3rd 2015, days ahead before the fourth anniversary of Amy's death.
