FILM 1402: AMY
TRIVIA: Amy Winehouse's immediate
family were initially willing to work with the film's producers and director,
having heard about the success of their earlier documentary, Senna (2010). They granted
the filmmakers access to hours of archive footage of Amy and her family, as
well as giving the filmmakers' their blessing to interview Amy's family and
friends. However, they - in particular, Amy's father, Mitch Winehouse - soon
began to feel they were being misrepresented in the documentary, that the
negative aspects of Amy's life were receiving much more attention than the
positive, and that footage had been edited in order to produce an inaccurate
narrative of Amy's story, especially the last three years of her life. Mitch Winehouse has said
that Amy's fans should consider seeing the film for the rare, previously
unseen, archive footage of his daughter, but should pay no attention to the
film's general portrayal of her, which he has labeled "preposterous".
