Music: Amy Winehouse, a rock star who died too soon
(France 2)
Tortured and talented, the story of Amy Winehouse has been adapted for the cinema. The film “Back to Black”, in theaters Wednesday April 24, looks back on his dazzling career.
Back to Black, a cult song for a short-lived career. Her latest album of the same name took Amy Winehouse to the top. A musical gem, it recounts all the sufferings of a star as strong in his art as he is fragile in his private life. Lulled by jazz, she was a little girl with a strong character and a musician at heart. His style, inspired by soul, first flourished in the small jazz clubs of London (United Kingdom).
Magical melodies and tragic destiny
The film Back to Black by Sam Taylor traces the origins of his career. “She was very shy” at the start of her career, says the director. Her second cult album propelled her to the forefront at 22 years old. She recounts all her wounds, her dark thoughts, her addictions and her romantic setbacks. At the heart of a toxic relationship with a drug addict, Amy Winehouse gradually sank and the tabloid press delighted in it, until her death at the age of 27. Between magical melodies and tragic destiny, Amy Winehouse remains a cult rock star.
