RIGA IFF SELECTION
This is a sad tale of a life and death illuminated by the paparazzi flashes – of singer Amy Winehouse’s brilliant career and her untimely death. This documentary, carefully researched and produced for three years, features previously unseen video footage, interviews with Amy’s relatives and friends, and unpublished music recordings. Like in his previous film “Senna”, about the famous F1 pilot, Kapadia avoids using voice-over commentary while clearly exposes the mercilessness of the tabloid culture, inviting us think about privacy and responsibility for those who live under constant public scrutiny.
