CANNES - Asif Kapadia, the director of “AMY”, the biopic on Amy Winehouse that premiered at the Cannes Film Festival, said there was no harm intended after the late singer-songwriter's father harshly criticized the film. Mitch Winehouse insisted he wanted to disconnect himself from the film and it was reported he wanted to seek legal action.
“It wasn't the intention to upset anyone, but just to show what was going on in her life,” Kapadia told reporters. “There's a lot of turmoil, there's a lot of stuff going on in her life and that's why things turned out the way they did. That's it really.” The author of “Back to Black” and “Rehab” died of alcohol poisoning at 27 at her north London home in 2011. - Reuters
