Let's Get Lost

Bruce showed Chet in as close to a realistic stance as possible. Warts and all. Brilliantly edited. He was a genus musically The drugs took their toll eventually as they always do.

I love the juxtaposition of Baker's sweet laid back sound and the sad, out-of-control life he lead. The film is beautiful to look at but it is paced too slowly.

I bought this movie about a week ago and got it in the mail today. Watched it at 10 AM and just finished with it, it's 12:03 PM now. This movie was really great, sad too. A touching story. I would really recommend this.

Dated and far-too concerned with style.

Highly intimate account of jazz musician Chet Baker.

I had missed it, and this film is the best documentary I have seen about a musician. Mesmerizing from the beginning to the end. Fall into the abyss of a broken man whose talent is limitless.

Magnifique documentaire autour de la derniere annee de la vie de Chet Baker (la plupart du tournage est de 1987) et de quelques images d'archives. C'est un tres beau travail d'artistes, le film ne se voulant absolument une biographie lineaire. Le noir et blanc est sublime et sied parfaitement a ce personnage. Le film tout en en disant pas mal, parvient a laisser planer une zone d'ombres autour de Chet, figeant son image d'icone.

A very personal and beautiful work from Bruce Weber.

Amazing compilation of testimonials to try to give a glimpse in the life of legendary cool jazz trumpeter Chet Baker. I personally waited for more than 10 years to watch this piece of cinematography gem and I must say it was worthy. The black and white gives the disconnection of reality, the poetic introspective look inside Chet Baker that I longed for. It is as astonishing as William Claxton photograpic work. Brilliant! Last time I saw such photogenic poetry was in Bergman's Persona, I think.

Every jazz fan should see it. Moving, sad, great bio on a great musician who got lost.
