Bruce Weber | U.S | 1988 | 120 Minutes

Famed fashion photographer Bruce Weber ventured into documentary filmmaking and traveled with acclaimed jazz trumpeter Chet Baker in what turned out to be the last year of Baker’s life. The results earned the 1989 Critics Prize at the Venice Film Festival and an Academy Award nomination for Best Documentary. Combining candid interviews with rare performance footage, the newly restored Let’s Get Lost introduces a new generation of jazz enthusiasts to Baker’s music and legacy.
