Who Killed Amy Winehouse? Asif Kapadia on the Case of the Dead Singer, and the ‘Really Heavy’ Version of ‘Amy’ His Wife Preferred
British filmmaker Asif Kapadia, who won an Oscar for “Amy,” approached the film as if he were a detective investigating a crime.
“My language that I use is like I’m investigating a crime, like something awful happened,” he told the audience in Nyon, which is on the shore of Lake Geneva, with a view across the water of the Alps. “And so, if you came to our edit suite, it’s literally that kind of scene from a ‘Zodiac’ or something, like some David Fincher film, with all these lines and whiteboards, where you’ve got pictures of everyone – all the suspects, whatever, all the characters – and you’re trying to connect the dots.” Kapadia explained that while he’s doing the interviews and archival research, he is editing the footage at the same time, and that would give him new leads to follow.
