Amy Winehouse

Universal Music and the filmmaker Asif Kapadia are working to a new documentary about Amy Winehouse’s life and career.

“This is an incredibly modern, emotional and relevant film that has the power to capture the zeitgeist and shine a light on the world we live in in a way that very few films can,” said Kapadia and the producer Gay-Rees.

They also added that “Amy was a once-in-a-generation talent who captured everyone's attention; she wrote and sung from the heart, and everyone fell under her spell. But tragically, Amy seemed to fall apart under the relentless media attention, her troubled relationships, her global success and precarious lifestyle. As a society we celebrated her huge success, but then we were quick to judge her failings when it suited us."

Amy became famous with her second album „Back to Black”, which has sold more than 12 million copies worldwide.
