Celebrity-worshipping Cannes got a sobering reminder of fame’s dark side Saturday with “Amy,” a powerful documentary about the late singer Amy Winehouse.
A teenage Winehouse says at one point in the film by British director Asif Kapadia, “I don’t think I’m going to be at all famous,” . Kapadia, who made acclaimed documentary “Senna” about Formula 1 driver Ayrton Senna — another star who died young — interviewed 80 of Winehouse’s friends, family and collaborators for the film, layering their words over footage of the musician from childhood onwards.
