Sam Taylor-Johnson wanted to reclaim "agency" for Amy Winehouse in the biopic 'Back to Black'. The 57-year-old director has helmed the film about the life of the tragic singer and wanted to place Amy's accomplishments – rather than her troubled life and untimely death aged 27 in 2011 – at the centre of the picture.
