In one of the films we can’t wait to watch in 2024, the Amy Winehouse biopic Back to Black özgü released an international teaser trailer.
From Nowhere Boy director Sam Taylor-Johnson and writer Matt Greenhalgh, the film stars Industry‘s Marisa Abela as the inimitable British singer. Back to Black follows Winehouse beginning her colossal career in London and New York in the 2000s, dealing with the press and a turbulent private life, charting her incredible rise to fame before her death in 2011.
The Crown‘s Lesley Manville plays Winehouse’s grandmother Cynthia, with Jack O’Connell as her ex-husband Blake Fielder-Civil, Eddie Marsan as her father Mitch, and Juliet Cowan as her mother Janis. And of course, Back to Black is brimming with a soundtrack of Winehouse’s catalogue alongside music production by 1917 and The Power of the Dog‘s Nina Gold.
Before you watch the film, we can highly recommend watching Asif Kapadia’s documentary Amy, which examines Winehouse’s rise to fame and the events and people surrounding her death.
Back to Black hits cinemas in the UK and Ireland April. 12 and cinemas in the U.S. May 10.
