A celebration of one of the most iconic stars of the 21st century, Amy Winehouse.
Painting a vivid, vibrant picture of the Camden streets she called home and capturing the struggles of global fame, Back to Black honours Amy's artistry, wit, and honesty, as well as trying to understand her demons. An unflinching look at the modern celebrity machine and a powerful tribute to a once-in-a-generation talent.
“Back to Black is essentially a gentle, forgiving film and there are other, tougher, bleaker ways to put Winehouse’s life on screen — but Abela conveys her tenderness, and perhaps most poignantly of all her youth, so tellingly at odds with that tough image and eerily mature voice.” Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian.
2024. France/UK/USA. Director: Sam Taylor-Johnson. Cast: Marisa Abela, Eddie Marsan, Jack O’Connell. Duration: 2hrs 2mins. Cert: 15.
