Asif Kapadia on the Case of the Dead Singer, and the \u2018Really Heavy\u2019 Version of \u2018Amy\u2019 His Wife Preferred"},"content":{"rendered":"

British filmmaker Asif Kapadia approached Oscar-winning documentary \u201cAmy,\u201d which was released 10 years ago, as if he were a detective investigating a crime, he told an audience of documentary professionals this week at Visions du R\u00e9el, a film festival in Nyon, Switzerland. So, who killed Amy Winehouse?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

As he was making the film, Kapadia was conscious that it was \u201creally dark.\u201d \u201cA friend said to me, \u2018If you tell the truth, this film\u2019s never going to come out.\u2019 I thought: \u2018What\u2019s the truth? I don\u2019t know what the story is.\u2019 And then once I learned the story, I thought, \u2018My God, this thing will never come out. It\u2019s really heavy.\u2019 There\u2019s a version of this film that is 15 minutes longer, which is like really heavy, and my wife is still annoyed that we didn\u2019t release that one, but it\u2019s just a bit too much.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Winehouse was the subject of intense media scrutiny during her lifetime and Kapadia ran into a media firestorm of his own recently when he was accused of antisemitism over social media posts critical of Israel\u2019s actions in Gaza, for which he subsequently apologized unequivocally<\/p>\n
