Amy, the upcoming documentary telling the story of Amy Winehouse, will be released in the U.K. on July 3. A US release date is still pending.
The one minute 29 second trailer, already released on youtube, is haunting and interspersed with soundbites from "Back to Black" and an interview.
In the trailer, the late crooner talks of fame, her songs and the story behind her songs.
“I don’t think I’m going to be at all famous. I don’t think I could handle it. I would probably go mad,” she says in interview footage that appears in the first teaser for the documentary about her life.
First announced in 2013, Amy was directed by Asif Kapadia, and uses unseen archive footage and previously unheard tracks. The British filmmaker’s 2010 documentary Senna, about late Formula One star Ayrton Senna, earned critical acclaim and picked up two BAFTA awards.
Winehouse, who rose to international fame with her second album, Back to Black, died on July 23, 2011 from alcohol poisoning.
She says in this clip, “I wouldn’t write anything unless it was directly personal to me just ‘cause I wouldn’t be able to tell the story right... I’m not a girl trying to be a star or trying to be anything other than a musician.”
Winehouse died of alcohol poisoning on 23 July 2011. Her album Back to Black posthumously became the UK's best-selling album of the 21st century, at that point.
