After years of anticipation, the trailer for “Back to Black,” the long-awaited biography of Amy Winehouse, was finally revealed, hitting theaters on May 10, 2024.
This project directed by Sam Taylor-Johnson, recognized for her work in “Nowhere Boy” and “Fifty Shades of Grey”, has generated great expectation in the film industry and among fans of the late singer.
Who is Marisa Abela?
Marisa Abela, the Maltese-Libyan-Russian-Polish actress of Jewish descent, was selected to play Amy Winehouse. Despite having no singing experience in her professional history, her vocal ability fits Winehouse’s signature range.
Graduated from the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA) in London in 2019, Abela has excelled in productions such as HBO’s “Industry” and the Sky One series, “COBRA.” Additionally, she recently joined the cast of Greta Gerwig’s film “Barbie.”
The film has the support of Mitch Winehouse, Amy’s father, who expressed the importance of finding an actress capable of representing his daughter’s complexity.
Mitch ruled out the possibility of a superstar like Lady Gaga for the role and expressed his preference for an “unknown” and young actress who resembles Amy.
What will Amy Winehouse’s movie be about?
Mitch Winehouse emphasized the need to portray Amy as she was, a “funny, brilliant, charming, horrible” person. The film focuses on the life of the talented British singer, known for hits such as “Valerie” and “You Know I’m No Good.”
Amy Winehouse died at age 27 in 2011 due to alcohol poisoning, leaving behind a musical legacy that includes the albums “Frank” and “Back to Black,” the latter of which earned her six Grammy Awards.
The choice of Sam Taylor-Johnson as director and Matt Greenhalgh, writer of “Control”, for the script, has consolidated expectations around the authenticity and quality of the project. The trailer reveals a careful reconstruction of Winehouse’s life, exploring her meteoric rise in the music industry and the personal challenges she faced.
It should be noted that with the premiere scheduled for May, “Back to Black” promises to be a tribute to the iconic Amy Winehouse, allowing viewers to immerse themselves in the complexity and talent of one of the most unforgettable voices in contemporary music.
