The wait for Back to Black is nearly over, and audiences will finally be able to watch the biopic that has been a long time in the making. The film chronicles Amy Winehouse's journey from being an aspiring singer-songwriter to a Grammy Award winner whose life and music career were cut short upon her passing at only 27 years old.
Marisa Abela plays the artist on the big screen, and this is her first major role in a film. The actress is primarily known as Yasmin, an investment banker in the HBO series Industry. She also starred in the Sky One show, Cobra, back in 2020. After portraying Winehouse, she is set to join a film entitled Black Bag, a thriller directed by Steven Soderbergh starring Cate Blanchett and Michael Fassbender.
Jack O'Connell Blake Fielder-Civil Blake Fielder-Civil started off as a charming video producer whom Amy fell in love with and then went on to become her greatest muse. He was the inspiration behind most well-known tracks on the album Back to Black and the two eventually got married. The film captures their hefty, on-and-off romance, and how their relationship was marked by the presence of drugs, violence, and media scrutiny.
