Marisa Abela enjoys night out with her boyfriend Jamie Bogyo as they attend Back To Black screening in Paris

Marisa Abela enjoyed a night out with her boyfriend Jamie Bogyo on Monday as they attended a screening of Back To Black in Paris.

The 27-year-old actress, who plays Amy Winehouse in the biopic, cut a glamorous figure for the evening in a black long-sleeved dress.

The garment featured a cut-out detail as Marisa styled her brunette locks in loose waves for the event.

Her boyfriend Jamie, who is also an actor, looked dapper in a navy blue blazer and trousers which he teamed with an open white shirt.

Jamie trained at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art and made his West End debut in Moulin Rouge!, playing the role of Christian.

Also present at the screening was Marisa’s co-star Jack O’Connell, who plays Amy’s boyfriend Blake Fielder-Civil in the film.

Jack opted for a light blue shirt and black trousers, completing his look with a simple gold chain.

Back To Black, which is endorsed by Amy’s father Mitch (played by Eddie Marsan), has sparked outrage from the singer’s friends who slammed it for its “grisly” depictions of the star’s drug addiction and also the filming of her funeral.

Blake, who was married to the singer between 2007 and 2009, previously admitted introducing her to heroin and is seen by many of her fans as partly responsible for her death from alcohol poisoning.

In the trailer, Amy declares that she wants to be known for more than her singing and her desperation to become a mother, before sadly dying childless.

In an emotional scene she describes Blake as ‘her life and soul’ before their on/off relationship inspires her to write the iconic song Back To Black.

Last year, Blake said he would have done “almost everything differently” in their relationship as he marked Amy’s 40th birthday.

Blake, who rarely gives interviews, was asked by Good Morning Britain presenters Susanna Reid and Ben Shephard what he would have done differently. He replied, “Almost everything.”

He continued, “It’s sad, but I wanted to wish Amy a happy birthday. It’s terrible that she’s not here. I think about her all the time, I thought about her this morning when I said happy birthday to her, she was my best friend.

“If certain factors hadn’t been there, I think it could have been a different outcome. For Amy, everything happened very quickly. We were young.’

It comes after Amy’s father Mitch Winehouse, who is played in the film by Eddie Marsan, caused shockwaves when it was revealed he approved of the film, which has come under fire for ‘grisly’ depictions of the star’s drug addiction and also the filming her funeral. .

The star’s biopic has sparked outrage among friends, with musician Neon Hitch calling the film ‘ridiculous’ and ‘tasteless’ and saying: ‘I feel very strange. Can you please let Amy rest?’

Friends expressed their anger at her father after he allowed grisly scenes of Amy’s drug overdose to be filmed in her old flat. Last February, Marisa was seen wearing an oxygen mask as she left the property in North London.

The flat is now owned by Mitch, who also appears in the scene, while Eddie filmed alongside Marisa and other actors playing paramedics.

At the time, Amy’s friends were devastated that her father had given permission to use the Camden flat to recreate one of his daughter’s darkest moments, which took place in August 2008.

It followed a 36-hour marathon drug session, which ended when she checked into the £10,000-a-week Causeway Retreat rehabilitation center on Osea Island, Essex.

One told The Mail on Sunday: ‘The fact that Amy’s father said OK to a scene where she overdosed in the flat she lived in is disgusting. It was such a personal thing and it’s so upsetting and unnecessary…

‘It’s as if the film is reliving all the darkest moments of her life, when there were so many more amazing moments. All we see are the depressing things, but that’s not who she was. Mitch should be ashamed of himself.

‘His behavior is shocking. He didn’t know what was going on and how she was with us all those years. Amy would really hate for them to focus on all the dark things she’s been through.”

Amy lived in the flat until 2010, when she bought a four-storey house nearby, where she was found dead the following year.

It was later confirmed that she died of alcohol poisoning.

The biopic has been teased for several years after Amy’s estate signed a deal to make a biopic about her life and career in 2018.

However, the film sparked controversy prior to its release, with many accusing the project of “exploiting the singer’s legacy” and “capitalizing on her trauma.”

Fans have taken to social media to protest the film, saying they will boycott the film because they think people should “put it to rest.”

Amy’s heartbroken friends have also spoken out against the biopic.

They think it is too early to make such a film and are furious that the makers of the film did not consult them about Amy’s life.

An insider said: ‘It all feels very fast, almost a bit of hitting and grabbing.’

They claim executives working on Back To Black have not been contacted to ask for their memories of the late singer, raising fears the film will be inaccurate.

One of them told The Mail on Sunday that they are also unhappy with Marisa’s casting because, despite the near-perfect wig she wears and the identical tattoos, they don’t think she looks like the Rehab singer.

“No one consulted us about Amy,” the friend said. “How can it be authentic and accurate if they don’t know the real Amy or the truth about what happened in her final years? We are against this and are angry. Amy was definitely striking.”
