Asif Kapadia directs this documentary focusing on the late British
singer-songwriter Amy Winehouse. Featuring archive footage and
interviews with the artist herself, the feature chronicles Amy's
life and successful music career which was cut short when she died
from alcohol intoxication in 2011 aged 27. In addition to private
home footage, those that knew Amy, including her father Mitch,
husband Blake Feilder-Civil and collaborator Mark Ronson, discuss
her life, career and notorious struggles with drugs, alcohol and
eating disorders.
Arguably the most gifted artist of her generation, Amy Winehouse
died tragically young, aged just 27. With a worldwide fanbase and
millions of record sales to her name, she should have had the world
at her feet. Instead, in the years prior to her passing, she
battled with addictions and was often the subject of lurid tabloid
headlines. But who was the real Amy? Amy's mother, Janis, knew her
in a way that no-one else did. In this warm, poignant and, at
times, heartbreaking memoir, she reveals the full story of the
daughter she loved. As the world watched the rise of a superstar,
then the freefall of an addict to her untimely death, Janis simply
saw her Amy, the girl she'd given birth to in 1983; the girl she'd
raised and stood by despite her unruly behaviour; the girl whose
body she was forced to identify two days after her death - and the
girl she's grieved for every day since. Packed with exclusive
material that has never been seen before, such as extracts from
Amy's teenage diaries, photos and notes, Loving Amy offers a new
and intimate perspective on the life and death of the phenomenon
that is Amy Winehouse.
