Stefan Pape asks the questions.

Plot: The movie focuses on Amy’s extraordinary genius, creativity and honesty that infused everything she did. A journey that took her from the craziness and colour of ’90s Camden High Street to global adoration – and back again, it crashes through the looking glass of celebrity to watch this journey from behind the mirror, to see what Amy saw, to feel what she felt.

The film will open in UK and Irish cinemas 12 April 2024.
