A24 has slotted a July 3, 2015 release date for the Amy Winehouse documentary, Amy, in New York and LA, followed by a wider release on July 10th. The documentary, which has just released a trailer and gorgeous poster, was directed by BAFTA winner Asif Kapadia (Senna) and follows Winehouse’s career and personal life which was tragically cut short when she became a member of the 27 Club in 2011.
The Details:
Amy tells the incredible story of six-time Grammy-winner Amy Winehouse – in her own words. Featuring extensive unseen archive footage and previously unheard tracks, this strikingly modern, moving and vital film shines a light on the world we live in, in a way that very few can.
A once-in-a-generation talent, Amy Winehouse was a musician that captured the world’s attention. A pure jazz artist in the most authentic sense – she wrote and sung from the heart using her musical gifts to analyse her own problems. The combination of her raw honesty and supreme talent resulted in some of the most unique and adored songs of the modern era.
Her huge success, however, resulted in relentless and invasive media attention which coupled with Amy’s troubled relationships and precarious lifestyle saw her life tragically begin to unravel. Amy Winehouse died from alcohol poisoning in July 2011 at the age of 27.
