The documentary showing Amy's appearances

Behind the imposing security and transmitting Amy Winehouse, there was a very vulnerable, weak to their environment from youth woman. It is the vision presented by the British director Asif Kapadia on Amy.

The musical career of the composer of "Rehab" is only a pretext to tell the short life of an artist who was with music a close and passionate relationship, as if it were a person you need to feel every day a rapport often it represented attachment to the world. However, when they get recognition and fame, a decline is accentuated. The round despite the stability of the singer, especially when you stop caring about the link between work and audience.

In one scene, Winehouse enters the stage, but not sing. Whispers to members of the band, sits, stands, see people, but nothing more. The boo. The director uses the testimonies of lifelong friends who say how that time revealed to them that the problem of addiction and bulimia worsened. I feared losing her forever. They wanted to rescue her, but his body could not take it. In addition, there were commitments to fulfill, tours, because the show must go on. It is then the responsibility of the manager and father in the most unstable moments of your health is discussed.

That is one of the key points of the film directed by also responsible for revealing Senna, detailing the wrongs against the Brazilian driver Ayrton Senna when their performance was becoming a threat to the then consented, as shown by the filmmaker, hierarchs Formula 1, French Alain Prost.

Amy, Kapadia avoids showing the face of those who speak only voices accompany images of the personal archive of composer heard. Extra credit is when combines manuscripts of songs with the testimony of his erratic relationship with Blake Fielder-Civil, who not only shared passion and pain, but also drugs. There is a creepy video of when he abandons the first time: she appears lost, aimlessly in a dark room.

They are sad details of one of the most intimidating voices of soul and jazz of recent times. The fortress like appearance, the siege of an industry that could not bear the harassment of an atrocious scandal-hungry press. TV presenters is steady taunted their problems, their physical. The sun flashes instead to leave.
