A tale of turbulent love and loss, revealing a hidden side of the author
Amy Winehouse is one of the greatest artists in recent history, having created her own style and sound by fusing various musical elements, selling over 30 million records worldwide, and currently streaming over 80 million times a month. She was praised worldwide as one of the most representative artists of the 21st century, and released her album "Back to Black," which won five Grammy Awards, making her a global superstar. This film is based on a true story of how Amy, who was in the limelight at a young age and was confused by her sudden fame, continued to sing instinctively with her unique, languid, husky voice and lyrics that exposed her emotions, "lived for love." This film depicts her "tumultuous love and loss," and reveals her unknown true face. Another masterpiece has been born in the music biopic.
Directed by Sam Taylor-Johnson, known for "Nowhere Boy" (2009) and "Fifty Shades of Grey" (2015), Amy Winehouse will be played by Marisa Abela, a 27-year-old star who played the main character in the British drama series "Industry" and Princess Barbie in the movie "Barbie." Other supporting cast members include BAFTA-winning actor Jack O'Connell, Eddie Marsan, Juliet Cowan, and Golden Globe and Academy Award®-nominated actor Lesley Manville.
Story: I knew he wasn't the man for me. But - Teenage Amy starts her career as a singer, watched over by her estranged father Mitch (Eddie Marsan), mother Janice (Juliet Cowan), and grandmother Cynthia (Lesley Manville), who was a jazz singer in her youth. Her debut album "Frank" was a success, but she was unable to make it to the US. Feeling frustrated, she went to a pub and met Blake (Jack O'Connell), and the two fell in love. However, Blake soon got back together with his ex-girlfriend, and the two broke up. Shocked, Amy began to have problems with alcohol and drugs. Worried, her manager recommended that she go to a rehabilitation facility, but Amy refused. "Back to Black," a song about her unrequited love with Blake, became a worldwide hit, and Amy and Blake reunited and married without telling anyone. However, their relationship deteriorated again, and Blake was arrested for assault. Now a superstar, Amy is stalked by paparazzi 24 hours a day, and suffers from years of eating disorders and addictions that are eating away at her mind and body. Meanwhile, she is nominated for six Grammy Awards, including the four major categories...
