MADRID (EFE) .- Amy Winehouse’s genius was indisputable. His commanding voice, singing her sensuality and a direct and hurtful issues made her a huge star in record time, as fast as he disappeared, as has the documentary “Amy” which arrives tomorrow to the rooms of half the world.
A documentary approved first and then denounced by her father, who called him a shameless misleading because it shows how most of the people around the singer failed to measure their vulnerability not helped curb the uncontrolled life ended with his death in just 27 years.
An age that not beat Jimmi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison or Kurt Cobain, all victims of its huge success, as happened to the young British portentous voice of world triumphed with his second album, “Back to black”, for which he won five Grammy.
A climb to the stars and a descent into hell as stereotyped as adjectives that describe his life in a documentary directed by Asif Kapadia British.
For the life and death of Winehouse is the repetition of a common story among the stars, which does not eliminate the horror involved see documented in the great display erratic life of someone who could have had it all
With valuable testimonies of childhood friends and Laurent Gilbert Juliette Ashby, primarily-of its first representative, Nick Shymansky, their parents. – Mitchel and Janis-, her husband, Blake Fielder-Civil and Amy itself, the director builds a bleak portrait beyond the known image of the singer.
A film that begins with images shot on home video for the birthday of one of his friends when Amy was only 14, but in which a complex personality and is sensed.
With more own spectacular voice of black jazz singers, Britain was obsessed from an early age just to be a good performer of that genre of music, which was the most liked.
And lived as a kind of betrayal having to compose and sing issues more pop, although the arrangements made his voice sound great and make these songs a genre in itself.
But Amy Winehouse was a strong and weak person while under the care and attention others, bulimic, drug addict and alcoholic who comes to confess to her friend Juliette on an image contained in the film “The world is a pain without drugs.”
Confessions as these make the documentary Kapadia one document to approach the personality of the late singer in 2011.
“What I crashed when the film is how young they were all because I met his friends and just turned 30, and they are only now starting to grow a little. Then they had 20 or 22 years, it had half a million pounds and no one said no. She could do whatever she wanted, “said the director after the screening of the film at the Cannes Film Festival.
For Kapadia, unbridled life he led the creator of songs like” Rehab “was largely a call for help for someone “parase all,” but no one did.
The singer was affectionate with his friends, he was obsessed with his father and with Fielder-Civil, and had a strong and obvious self-destructive tendencies . And it presents a documentary that shows the inevitability of fate of Amy, doomed from the start to a tragic end.
The most important film documents are certainly recordings of the voice of the singer, whether in interviews, in conversations with friends and even phone messages left for different people.
His testimony, their opinions, their fears or their musical ambitions are well reflected in a documentary that lets hear some of the wonderful songs by the singer as “Stronger than me”, “You know I’m no good” or, of course, the legendary “Rehab”.
But not hidden his worst, his failed attempts to quit drugs or some of his painful performances under the influence of alcohol, as well as his refusal to sing at the concert in Belgrade in June 2009 which marked the beginning of the end.
“If I could change all just to walk down the street quiet, I would, “he said shortly before his death one of his amigas.- Alicia Garcia Francisco
