Let’s Get Lost - 1988 - 7/10
After watching the well meaning, but sweetened portrayal of Chet Baker, I dug out this blunt alternative.
The face and soul of chronic addiction, shot in stark black n white.
Difficult, at times abrasive, biography of the prince of Cool.
Flashbacks, old photos, new performances.
Plenty of “candid” answers and ruminations from Mr Baker.
Counterbalanced with corrections from producers, fellow sidemen and the women in his life.
Women, meaning his mother, one of his wives, his daughter, two girlfriends.
Terrific film of a horribly flawed man, but genuinely gifted musician.
Confession, I''m a big fan of Chet Baker. I have close to sixty recordings and I'm still buying titles of his.
A haunting artist of despair and regret, especially in his mature years, but as a human, a right piece of work
