AMY is a 2015 documentary directed by Asif Kapadia about British singer Amy Winehouse. It assembles thousands of archival clips, home videos and interviews to trace her rise from a gifted jazz-influenced vocalist to a global pop icon, and the personal toll of fame, media scrutiny and substance abuse. The film juxtaposes intimate family footage with performances and studio sessions to offer a candid, sometimes painful portrait of talent, love, and tragedy.
