Her impact on the music world continues to be felt today and Amy Winehouse is the subject of an upcoming documentary film simply titled “Amy.”
Slated to hit theaters later this year, the project chronicles the “You Know I’m No Good” songstress’ rise to fame and the subsequent difficulties that came with the territory. The newly-released trailer shows Amy speculating, “I don’t think I’m going to be at all famous. I don’t think I could handle it. I would probably go mad, do you know what I mean? I would go mad.”
Per a Facebook page post, the filmmakers state, “This is an incredibly modern, emotional and relevant film that has the power to capture the zeitgeist and shine a light on the world we live in, in a way that very few films can. Amy was a once-in-a-generation talent who captured everyone’s attention; she wrote and sung from the heart and everyone fell under her spell. But tragically Amy seemed to fall apart under the relentless media attention, her troubled relationships, her global success and her precarious lifestyle. As a society we celebrated her huge success but then we were quick to judge her failings when it suited us.”
