Amy Winehouse Actor Marisa Abela & Back to Black Director on
Sam Taylor-Johnson directs a devastating portrayal of Amy Winehouse’s meteoric rise to success and tragic death in Back to Black. The biopic takes an unvarnished look at her alcoholism, drug addiction, and toxic relationship with her eventual husband, Blake Fielder-Civil (Jack O’Connell). Moreover, Marisa Abela delivers a star-making performance as Winehouse, in which she sings in her own voice and brilliantly captures the musician’s electric presence.
