Few voices have captured the imagination in the last few decades like Amy Winehouse’s rich, deep alto. There was such fixation on the 27 Club and her struggles with addiction following her untimely passing in 2011, it was almost an afterthought that the BBC had called her “the pre-eminent vocal talent of her generation.”
A new documentary, from the makers of Senna, traces Winehouse’s path from young Londoner raised on a diet of jazz and Frank Sinatra to globally recognized and dangerously troubled artist. “I don’t think I’m gonna be at all famous," she says at one point in this, the first trailer. "I don’t think I could handle it. I would probably go mad.”
