Let's Tell the World...


Bruce Weber, Let's Get Lost, 1988

A haunting portrayal of Jazz legend Chet Baker - from 1950s idol to derelict. Weber's characteristic grainy black and white photography comes alive in this documentary that begins near the end of Baker's life on the beaches of Santa Monica. Tracing his fantastic journey in his own words and through the people he touched the most, this film serves as the perfect eulogy to this rebel without a cause. Originally released in 1988.
