  • AMY Discussion Guide
    www.influencefilmclub.com AMY Discussion Guide Director: Asif Kapadia Year: 2015 Time: 128 min You might know this director from: Ali and Nino (2016) Senna (2010) Far North (2007) The Return (2006) The Warrior (2001) FILM SUMMARY If you live in the Western World and have access to the mainstream press in any capacity, you’ve most likely heard of Amy Winehouse. Regardless of your knowledge of her before spending two hours in her filmic company, you probably have some notion of her - in many cases, not the most squeaky clean perception. Whenever Amy made it into the headlines, it was generally some kind of self-damaging drama that dragged her there. So when asked by Universal Records to make a documentary on the life of this renowned international pop star, director Asif Kapadia felt compelled to challenge the widely accepted notion of Amy as a train wreck. Lucky for him, hours and hours of amateur footage was offered his way, portraying a younger, fresher, happier, and healthier Amy, a young woman as of yet untouched by the destructive claws of fame, money, and addiction. Over the course of 128 hypnotic minutes, Kapadia takes us on a chronological ride through Amy’s short-lived time on earth. By adopting this approach, he grasps his audience by the heartstrings with early images of a charming and very talented young woman. As time progresses and success tsunamis her way, the natural arch of her life, however fast-lived, gains a clearer context, as does her untimely death. Despite the cast of dubious relationships and her substance-abusing decisions, Amy maintained an incredible natural talent up until her death.

  • Production Notes
    Production Notes @AmyFilmUK #AmyFilm AmyFilm 1 ABOUT THE PRODUCTION When filmmakers Asif Kapadia (director), James Gay-Rees (producer) and Chris King (editor) collaborated on the 2010 documentary SENNA, which charted the story of acclaimed F1 driver Ayrton Senna, they earned a clutch of awards (including two BAFTAs) and a mass of critical plaudits. Such is the film’s popularity, however, it still serves up fresh opportunities. Two years after SENNA’s theatrical release, Gay-Rees was approached by David Joseph, the chairman and CEO of Universal Music UK, who asked whether the team would be interested in turning their talents to another story about a modern-day icon whose life had ended in tragic circumstances. “David said, ‘Would you be interested in making a movie in the style of SENNA which captures the musical genius of Amy Winehouse,’” Gay-Rees recalls. “And it took me about a nanosecond to go, ‘Yes! We’re up for it. Absolutely.’” Gay-Rees had not considered the Amy Winehouse story up until that point. “But I knew instinctively that there was something interesting going on there,” he says. “I immediately called Asif. We weren’t actively looking for something to do together after SENNA, but he said yes straight away.” Like Winehouse, Asif Kapadia grew up in North London and though the majority of his films have been shot overseas, he was keen to focus his talents on his hometown. He had recently shot Odyssey, one of four films about London that were commissioned for the 2012 Olympics. “When James called me I was living in Turnpike Lane,” he remembers.
