Storyline

Documentary about jazz great Chet Baker that intercuts footage from the 1950s, when he was part of West Coast Cool, and from his last years. We see the young Baker, he of the beautiful face, in California and in Italy, where he appeared in at least one movie and at least one jail cell (for drug possession). And, we see the aged Baker, detached, indifferent, his face a ruin. Includes interviews with his children and ex-wife, women companions, and musicians.

A staggering achievement of craft and ambition. Bruce Weber's vision lands with breathtaking precision.

Every frame feels alive. Let's Get Lost is the rare release that takes its audience seriously.
