“Back To Black” traces the story of Amy Winehouse, who died young. Lead actress Marisa Abela saves the film from being too kitsch – and also sings herself.
The omens were not incredibly favorable. As a singer with a bright voice and a penchant for heavy breathing, Sam Taylor-Wood didn’t really get off to a good start. She actually recorded a robot disco number with the Pet Shop Boys in 2008. “I’m In Love With A German Film Star” made it to the top of the UK dance charts with unresolved samples remixed by Marlene Dietrich. She also remained loyal to spectacular material as a film director under her new name Sam Taylor-Johnson. She made her debut with the John Lennon film biography in 2009. Six years later, she filmed the soft-maso erotic novel “Shades of Grey” under the title “Fifty Shades of Grey”, with which she won the satirical film award Golden Raspberry 2016 could secure.
She was really rewarded at the checkout. The film’s soundtrack went platinum in many countries, and the film itself grossed $570 million. He did not go down in film history. It doesn’t take a psychic to figure out that her Amy Winehouse biopic Back To Black won’t either. It’s still worth seeing.
