Amy Winehouse realized her love for jazz music at a young age. Her father Mitch often sang songs to her. Music became a refuge when Winehouse struggled at school. She signed her first record deal when she was just 19 years old. After her debut album, Frank, Winehouse became a star in her home country. But it was their legendary album “Back to Black” that caused their international breakthrough. Her relationship with drug addict video producer Blake Fielder-Civil is seen as a key moment in Winehouse’s tragic life. He was the beginning of her downfall: a fatal love story began, which is now being examined in more detail in the new biopic “Back to Black”.
Director Sam Taylor-Johnson has taken life as her subject, particularly the production of her legendary hit album “Back to Black”.
