Amy Winehouse's 2011 tragic death will haunt the world of soul forever. At the tender age of 27, the British R&B superstar was lost in the midst of what had become a tumultuous, high-profile artistic filled with as many empty bottles as it was full venues. Her life has been documented in the upcoming feature-length documentary, Amy, directed by Asif Kapadia and due for a U.S. release on July 3rd. Now, a new extended trailer for the documentary has finally been delivered.
In the two minute clip we see grainy footage of a young Winehouse playing guitar, dodging paparazzi cameras, and gradually turning from a shy girl with dreams of making it big into a woman who has lost control of the path she's on. It bodes well for Amy as a film, loaded with Ms. Winehouse's already-classic recordings and in-depth interviews from those that knew her best. The briefest of preview clips already appeared online weeks ago, but this new trailer offers a much more realized look at what we can expect from Amy as a whole. As soon as things open with a shot of Amy Winehouse in the studio, commenting "It's a bit upsetting at the end, isn't it?" it's clear we're due for an emotional ride. Watch the trailer below and grab your movie tickets soon--this one's a must-see.
