Amy Winehouse is pretty nervous on that day in March 2011, at which the will be built last studio recording of their lives. You should with Tony Bennett the standard “Body & amp; Soul “sing. The American jazz singer is one of her idols, she never sang with someone she adores so. It did not go well. Your phrasing seem uncertain and groping. “I’m wasting your time,” says the singer and it almost looks as if they wanted to go. But their charming 84 year old duet partner are you talking about calm and reassuring. It works, she begins to sing better.
As together swing the votes of the two perfect in the last line, one of the most moving moments of the documentary “Amy”, which in after its Cannes premiere and the start England next week is also in the German cinemas. Director Asif Kapadia used for the duet scene of parts for years circulating in the network video live recording of the session at London’s Abbey Road Studios. That inclusion sparked such a powerful effect once again, is the context of the previous “Amy” -Filmstunde which largely deals with the drug and alcohol problems of the singer. All this is as wiped out, as the immense talent of the young woman flashes again

Winehouse meets that day – she seems healthy and powerful – again her first musical love: jazz. Like the time when she heard Sarah Vaughan, Frank Sinatra and Tony Bennett and sang in the National Youth Jazz Orchestra. She blows it again, dreams of reasons with Roots drummer Quest Love, guitarist and singer Raphael Saadiq and her boyfriend Mos Def a jazz supergroup. Immediately one wishes to hear what kind of music would never have occurred to these four brilliant minds together. But Winehouse already being dragged in the film in a completely different direction – it is to go on tour again. It goes against her so much that she gets drunk senseless, so as not to have to drive. It is nevertheless transported in an airplane, the infamous last appearance in Belgrade follows.
The movie is a gigantic video puzzle
It is very suggestive as Asif Kapadia this jazz-versus dreams Tour obligations conflict in the last quarter of its documentation builds. Again and again “Amy” this effect, that the audience something is suggested, without being too explicit foisted him. This subtlety stems largely from the fact that over Kapadia in 1994 fatally injured racer Ayrton Senna almost exclusively shows images from the life of his main character as with its award-winning documentary “Senna”. There is neither a voice-over commentary nor the usual companions interviews in studio or on domestic sofas. Instead, interviewed by Kapadia girlfriends, musicians, family members, managers and doctors can be heard only, to images from their past can be seen

“Amy” is a gigantic video puzzle, for Kapadia and his team conducted approximately 100 interviews and 1,500 hours of footage sighted. The quality of many used in the movie private recordings is moderate to poor, but intimacy and exclusivity are the director, who grew up just like Winehouse in north London, more important than good illumination or quiet camera. Big Screen is the installation of an incredible effort embossed documentation why not, for today’s time-clippers Digital culture fits the approach for the better. Loose clips are an everyday occurrence, and that each cell phone camera snippets can land on the net, knows from primary school children to celebrity now everyone. Because the innocence of private recordings since the Super 8-times continuously off and has increased its presence in the media, their increased use in documentaries is only logical. Assuming as consistent as Asif Kapadia before, while also leveled the keyhole effect. This was about when Kurt Cobain documentary “Montage of Heck” significantly greater. In it only a few home videos from Courtney Love were used which barely produced a new realization, but the Cobain-interpretive widow demonstrated more impressive

The most valuable material for “Amy” contributed her first manager Nick Shymansky. Kapadia refers to him as a kind of key figure in the film. Without his confidence and his recordings of Amy Winehouse’s early days he had his film might can not turn. Shymansky is 19 when he meets the 16-year-old musician. After he convinced her to hire him as a manager, he accompanied them to appearances, filming them on the road, backstage and on stage. The photo shows a funny, bright young woman who still occurs without tattoos, Beehive and elaborate eye makeup. She accompanied herself on the guitar and already has this unmistakable, powerful voice.
The debut sold a million copies
As Winehouse is 20 years old, her debut album “Frank appears “that makes them famous in their home, selling a million copies and was awarded the Mercury Prize. They moved to Camden, a new era has come in which it emanates much, drinking and At length her new Sixties look. Above all, she meets Blake Fielder-Civil. He is a ripper and celebration beast. The two have an affair, which he completed at some point. Despair, alcohol excess, collapse – a pattern that Winehouse does not pass through the last time. Nick Shymansky urging them to make a rehab, she refuses. It is exactly as it was to sing later in the opening line of her hit “Rehab”: “They tried to make me go to rehab / But I said no, no, no!” Instead of her boyfriend and manager, she in the substitutes for a result, she listens to her also in the song immortalized father. Who believes they do not need a cure

The cab driver Mitch Winehouse had separated from Amy’s mother Janis , was when his daughter nine years old. He had the feeling that she had gotten over it quickly, he says in the film. “He was never there when it was important,” she says. That you have been prescribed with antidepressants 13, not exactly speak for a happy childhood. Asif Kapadia goes to this stage of life a just barely. One learns much about their musical beginnings, her older brother is not mentioned at all. However, some enlightening highlights supplies mother Janis, which recalls, among other things, as Amy told her as a teenager from her new diet: eat everything and then vomit. That her mother, who is a pharmacist, could ignore this crystal clear Bulimia description, appears incomprehensible. The singer was supposed to fight until her death in July 2011 with the eating disorder.
delusional sense spiral of fame, drugs, gossip
After Rehab refusal Winehouse goes to the USA and takes along with Mark Ronson her neo-soul masterpiece “Back In Black” on. Again, one would like to know something more about the background and the studio work. After all, it is one of the most influential boards of noughties, a modern classic, which made known worldwide Winehouse. After all, he has built a very nice sequence of the vocal recording of the theme song

The music occurs in the second half of the film ever further, because now the insane spiral of fame, drugs and gossip scandals begins. Now that the money is going, Blake Fielder-Civil and Mitch Winehouse reappear on the scene. The fact that both are not good for the singer, she has but forfeited them fatally, is clearly in “Amy”. Fiedler-Civil, with whom she has been married two years admits that he introduced her to hard drugs.
And her father is in one of the scariest scenes in the film with a television crew to an island, on his daughter is looking for peace and relaxation in front of the paparazzi hordes. Kapadia used extremely much from this very Blitzlichtgeflacker material to illustrate how the situation was unbearable for Winehouse. That of all her father, who has ridiculously complained in British media about “Amy”, their privacy violated in such a way is a terrible betrayal. “Why have you done this to me?” She calls out to him. Had she merely chased him and wrote a song about it
