I’m WAY behind on movie reviews, so I’ll make this quick. So quick I’m going with a list…
Let’s Get Lost is:
- A fascinating look at the troubled life of the late, great Jazz musician Chet Baker
- One of the prettiest documentaries I’ve ever seen. Directed by photographer Bruce Weber, Let’s Get Lost is a stunning visual achievement. Like the best black and whtie still photography come to life, this film matches the melancholy of Baker’s life, the life of those he touched and his music perfectly.
- Depressing. Baker was on top of the world. Then he became a junkie and got his teeth knocked out. Fun times.
- Maybe a little overlong? It’s a somber film. 2+ hours of somber can be a bit of a marathon.
- Features Flea. When I saw this film first, in the theater, I was probably the only person in the audience to even recognize him. Now? Probably a different story.
- Is really a must-see. One of the best docs I’ve ever seen. not that I’m the king of documentaries, but still…
That’ll just have to do. I’ve got much to churn through here.
