Back to Black

The long-awaited film adaptation of the life and music of Amy Winehouse. In Back to Black, Marisa Abela takes on the role of music icon Amy Winehouse and talks about her vibrant years in London and her intense journey to fame.

Back to Black features many of Amy's hits and focuses on her extraordinary genius as a musician and her humor and honesty. The film covers most of Amy's short life: from her upbringing and vibrant years in London to her intense journey to global success and its dark sides. Throughout her career until her tragic death, the singer continued to struggle with her demons, her fame and the toxic on-again, off-again relationship with her great love Blake.

Amy Winehouse is widely regarded as one of the greatest artists in recent music history. She sold more than 30 million records worldwide and today still generates more than 80 million streams per month. Her critically acclaimed 2006 album Back to Black brought her worldwide fame and went on to win a record five Grammy Awards including Record Of The Year and Song of The Year for the hit single Rehab. The singer died in 2011 at the age of 27. Back to Black was directed by acclaimed filmmaker and visual artist Sam Taylor-Johnson.
