Asif Kapadia’s heart-wrenching follow up to the acclaimed Senna is the daring and peerless documentary Amy which brilliantly celebrates the indisputable singing and song writing talent that was Amy Winehouse, without ever shying away from the darker elements of her life.
To mark its opening we have a fantastic bundle of Amy Winehouse CDs and the classic Back to Black on 12′ vinyl to give away, together with a pair of tickets to a special preview screening satellite event in the IFI on June 30th at 19.45, courtesy of the film’s distributor Wildcard Pictures.
ABOUT THE FILM:
Amy is a bold film that shines an illuminating light on the nature of modern celebrity. Piecing together some extraordinary archive footage, much of it previously unseen, and garnering interviews with only the people closest to her, Kapadia presents Amy Whinehouse as a highly complicated, fascinating, charismatic, smart and engaged individual, who became blighted by her bad decisions, dangerous addictions and destructive relationships. Winehouse’s songs always had an autobiographical edge, and her music and lyrics are inventively relied upon to tell much of her story here, forming the spine of the film.
