what he heard in terms of him getting hit in the eye, the injury was the same, but that is it. no updates right now. and that's all the sport. her talent was indisputable. now, the life and music of amy winehouse is the subject of a new film, back to black. it follows her journey to becoming a star — as well as her later struggles with addiction. before this evening's premiere, our culture correspondent, charlotte gallagher, sat down with the film's director and its star. # tried to make me go to rehab, isaid no, no, no.# amy winehouse, a music legend. # no, no, no... # yeah, baby, and the rest. # tried to make me go to rehab.

now a new film is telling her story. i was so excited by the idea of, you know, playing and getting in touch with amy — the girl, and then amy the singer — as well as, like, you know, the woman before the icon. and you, physically, transform in the film. you start as this really vibrant young woman and you become quite frail towards the end of the film and just seem so lonely and kind of cut off and let down by people. how did you feel about amy when you were making this film? i felt very in awe of her. when she first came on the scene, we were all sort of blown away by this, like, girl from camden that, like, had a lot to say and wasn't afraid to say it. it's difficult to go through the highs and lows of someone's life. and i think it's just about dealing with those moments with as much sensitivity as a person as possible and figuring out
11:52 am
exactly what's happening. i don't write songs to be famous. i write songs cos i don't know what i'd do if i didn't. and for you, sam, how hard was it to find your amy — someone that can physically resemble amy, but then can also sing like her? well, really, it was important, mostly, that i could find someone that wasn't going to impersonate amy. there were many brilliant impersonators and people that looked like her or sounded like her. but marisa came in as herself — was the only one in the audition process who didn't try to look like her in any way. earrings, eyeliner or anything. # feel like a lady...# amy's grandma and her mum and dad are depicted in the film, but the family weren't involved in making it. i went to the family, you know, really out of respect that i was making a film about their daughter. and ijust wanted to sort of sit with them and hear their stories and then go off and make the film that i wanted to make.
11:53 am
so they didn't have involvement, as in they could say what i could and couldn't do, but i wanted them to be able to come and visit set and see what we were doing and just have, again, like i said, a sense of respect that i was making a film about their daughter. a big part of the film is amy's troubled relationship with blake fielder—civil. i didn't meet blake. i wanted to meet blake, but i didn't meet blake. i set out to make the film, like i said, through her perspective. so her love of him, you know, had to be palpable. it had to feel real and we had to understand why she fell in love with him. and so it wasn't about making a sort of one—dimensional villain. we had to fall in love with him to understand why she wrote one of the greatest albums about their love. and... and, for me, really, the villains of the film, you know, it's addiction and paparazzi. and when you actually look back now at the headlines that were written about her, i mean, i was reading one
11:54 am
that said, "amy goes to see blake "in court, but she can't hide the state of her shocking skin." and it's a picture of someone obviously very unwell. hm, yes. do you think now, obviously, what amy went through, what britney spears went through, that maybe we've moved on a bit as a society that people wouldn't be persecuted essentially like that? i don't know. recent news may say different. i felt like we maybe had evolved to this place of maybe that wouldn't happen now, but it feels like it is happening now. # we only said goodbye with words. # i died a hundred times.# what do you think she'd make of the film? i think that she would feel, like, the fact that we've sort of gifted her music back again in a different light, having seen the film, and people sort of feeling like they want to go and listen to it immediately afterwards and, you know, be more remembered for her music than for her tragedy.
11:55 am
i feel like hopefully she would feel proud of it and us. and of herself, too, you know, as a catalogue of her achievements and what it was that she was able to create as a very young woman. i hope that she would watch it and feel, like, you know, proud of everything that she created. # and i go back to black.# charlotte gallagher, bbc news. back to black is out in cinemas from friday. now it's time for a look at the weather with carol kirkwood. another changeable week of weather. there will be some sunshine at times but there also will be wet and windy conditions. it will be cooler, especially on tuesday, and then it turns that bit warmer later in the week. by the weekend london will be back up to 20 celsius. this low pressure to the north—west of scotland is what is left of storm
