Let's Get Lost (1988)
Directed by Bruce Weber
Documentary about jazz great Chet Baker that intercuts footage from the 1950s, when he was part of West Coast Cool, and from his last years. We see the young Baker, he of the beautiful face, in California and in Italy, where he appeared in at least one movie and at least one jail cell (for drug possession). And, we see the aged Baker, detached, indifferent, his face a ruin. Includes interviews with his children and ex-wife, women companions, and musicians.

What critics compared Let's Get Lost to
Arguably, the film is stylistically most closely akin to the work of Bruce Weber (best known for directing Calvin Klein commercials and the Chet Baker documentary “Let’s Get Lost”).
If you want the real Baker, in all his toothless, selfish, wizened majesty, you’ll find him in Bruce Weber’s extraordinary 1988 documentary Let’s Get Lost.
Chop Suey -Bruce Weber (Let's Get Lost, Broken Noses) unveiled his latest documentary recently as well.
I’m not saying they won’t sell tons of albums, but “Let’s Get Lost” by Beck and Bat for Lashes seems out of place in the movie.
