The 16th #法罗岛电影节# documentary section will bring you "Amy" on the 2nd screening day. Below, please see the comments of the controversial female voices on the front line!

Not Here:

Such a beautiful voice is so heartbreaking.

Mimi:

After all, the greed and madness of the world did not let this lovely girl go.

The Queen of the Faroe Island Empire:

In the life of Zhong Yong, who did not have everyone, his talent was a fame, his talent was a life-killer, a man was a badass, and fame and fortune were a crystal coffin.

No one at midnight:

For the presentation of themes such as "star's suffering" and "behind the halo", the recent "Judy", "Sound of Light", and "The Birth of a Star" should all come to learn from this film. From a variety of music scenes, public interviews, and private records, they are shuffled and reorganized to piece together a life of a legendary actress who is in full bloom. The biggest difference from ordinary documentaries is that it does not create the illusion that you can approach and understand the inner world of this character, but is always reminded of the existence of the lens and the material, and always feels separated from her. Yes, there is no empathy here.

Dazhao:

7 points for the picture, 6 points for the content, 9 points worth. The front view is good, a large number of home videos, photos with character recordings, interspersed with Amy's jazz works, appropriate urban aerial photography, Amy's debut process and character characters are presented very vividly. However, it flows into the cliché biographical running account later. The multi-character perspective is not very necessary. Amy's own mental state is more narrative than what she has done, and the material is not enough to dig from the work. 7 Grammy Awards, but died young at the age of 27. After reading it, I won't feel sorry. Instead, I think this is the most suitable home for her. After all, the cycle of creation, drug abuse, collapse, and re-creation still can't get out.

The DAY2 documentary film will be released later, please wait and see.

Amy quotes

  • Yasiin Bey: I became aware of Amy in 2004. I'm a big jazz fan and I really liked what she was doing. I thought it was unique, I thought it was edgy. And sincere. And that's the thing I like most about Amy. She didn't have any airs. She was real... She was just a charming, sweet lady. I had a bit of a crush on her, to be honest. She was raw, she was fast with a blue joke, could drink anybody under the table, wasn't afraid to roll a smoke. Had a big, giant laugh, and was just a sweetheart, you know?

  • Amy Winehouse: Success to me is not success to the record company or whoever. Success to me is having the freedom to work with whoever I want to work with, to always be able to go to the studio when I have to go to the studio... I think the more people see of me, the more they'll realize that all I'm good for is making tunes. So leave me alone and I'll do it. I will do the music. I just need time to do the music.
