Here’s your first look at the Amy Winehouse film, ‘Back to Black’:
According to a press release, the film is “about Amy Winehouse’s vibrant years living in London in the early aughts and her intense journey to fame.” The movie includes much of Winehouse’s music and is being produced with support from Universal Music Group, Sony Music Publishing, and Winehouse’s estate.
My connection to Amy began when I left college and was hanging out in the creatively diverse London borough of Camden. I got a job at the legendary KOKO CLUB, and I can still breathe every market stall, vintage shop and street... A few years later Amy wrote her searingly honest songs whilst living in Camden. Like with me, it became part of her DNA. I first saw her perform at a talent show at Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club in Soho and it was immediately obvious she wasn’t just ‘talent’… she was genius.
There’s certainly a resemblance between Winehouse and Abela, although the role will call for more than simply looking like the late musician. While this is the first fiction film about Winehouse’s life, she has been the subject of a movie before. In 2015, A24 released , a haunting documentary about Winehouse’s far-too-short life and career. The film went on to win the year’s Academy Award for Best Documentary.
These films are based on real people and events ... but just barely. Most of what was up on screen was invented by screenwriters.
