Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: [A] shimmeringly decadent and fascinating portrait of the West Coast jazz legend Chet Baker.
Fresh: Let's Get Lost, Bruce Weber's haunting documentary about legendary jazz musician Chet Baker, first came out in 1989 and hasn't been easy to catch since. Now reissued in 35 millimeter, the film looks like a pristine time-capsule.
Fresh: A gorgeous gravestone for the Beat Generation's legacy of beautiful-loser chic.
Fresh: Yes, it's about Baker, obviously, but a Baker who's somehow both much more and much less than the man seen on screen.

Wonderful Classic.
It's nice to see such a rare classic make it to iTunes.
artful. dark. beautiful.
I've been wanting to see this for years and it was never available anywhere online. Finally it shows up on iTunes. It's a beautifully shot (by Bruce Weber) piece of art. It's the story of Chet Baker- there's great music, lots of beauty, a face aged by hard living, sad ex wives and kids left behind.
