“Charlie Parker heard Chet Baker playing somewhere […] and the legend was that he called Miles Davis and Dizzie Gillespie and said: “ ’Hey, there’s a little white cat out here who’s giving you a lot of trouble’.” The renowned photographer adds that everyone has a story about Chet, cramming his own into a unique documentary which earned him an Oscar nomination. Bruce Weber and his crew tracked the legendary jazz trumpeter and vocalist from one U.S. coast to another, and accompanied him to Europe on what would ultimately be his last tour.

englanti Let's Get Lost is a distinctive documentary portrait of jazz trumpeter Chet Baker. All credit to Bruce Weber's direction and especially Jeff Preiss' cinematography – their specific framing, with the camera dancing around people and objects in an absolutely incredible way, adds a whole new dimension to a very hypnotic film accompanied by slow and heartfelt jazz music. You don't need to know anything about jazz, you don't need to know anything about the 1950s, you don't need to know anything about Baker (the documentary pulls no punches with his negative side), yet you'll enjoy this ride, which, although it covers a period of some four decades, feels incredibly holistic and timeless in its style, if you can manage to tune into its relaxed jazz wave. PS. The projected restored version looked and sounded absolutely bombastic. [KVIFF 2024] ()

englanti (KVIFF 2024) I'm not a jazz fan, and I heard of Chet Baker for the first time today, so I approached Let's Get Lost with a blank slate. Chet Baker, who struck me as a mix of Omar Sharif and an older Pier Paolo Pasolini, had a truly wild lifestyle, as evidenced by Bruce Weber's biographical documentary, pieced together from archival footage and interviews with Baker and those close to him. It was surprising to me how paradoxical the fine singing worked with Baker's emaciated visage. The film definitely could have benefited from a shorter running time, perhaps even by a third, as at times the whole thing felt very tedious. But, as I wrote above, I am not the target audience! ()
