Amy Winehouse's lyrics and music were the 'guiding star' for director Sam Taylor-Johnson in bringing the late singer's story to the screen in 'Back to Black'.
LONDON, April 8 - Amy Winehouse's lyrics and music were the "guiding star" for director Sam Taylor-Johnson in bringing the late singer's story to the screen in "Back to Black".
It comes nearly 13 years after the six-time Grammy Award winner died from alcohol poisoning, aged 27. Considered one of the most talented singers of her generation, her untimely death shook the music world."I just wanted it to be in her perspective to kind of give her her agency back because I felt like it had been kind of taken away and she'd just become a victim of her tragedy," she said at the film's world premiere in London on Monday.
"She was smart and funny and bold and brave, but also incredibly vulnerable and emotional and that's kind of what I wanted to bring. I wanted to...remind people of the vulnerability of Amy, the girl behind the music." "Back to Black" has been approved by the Amy Winehouse Estate and Taylor-Johnson also met with Winehouse's parents.
