These days we are assailed by advertising images of Marisa Abela dressed as Amy Winehouse for the release of Back to blackthe biographical film signed by the director of Fifty Shades of Gray. Not being able to go and see this film which oscillates between boredom and indecency, we take this as a good opportunity to immerse ourselves in the story thrilling and revolting by Amy Winehouse. After reading and viewing these three resources that we highly recommend, you you will only better appreciate the touching sensitivity and genius of his music.

With a lot passionFrom rigor and especially of empathy, the YouTuber serves us on a silver platter the best possible behind-the-scenes introduction to Amy Winehouse’s work. Her production, music and editing give her video the feel of a story we listen to while curled up in a blanket. Nevertheless, we don’t slip into the entertainment field. Contrary to Back to blackwe are aware at all times that this story is not a show but a woman’s life hit hard from the violence of psychological and physical influence, of patriarchy, of capitalism. 3.8 million views, fully justified.
