Internationally renowned photographer/filmmaker Bruce Weber created a stunning feature with Let's Get Lost, his Academy Award nominated film about the late jazz great Chet Baker. Following the elusive and digressive nature of the star, Weber and crew went on the road with Baker from the West Coast to the East Coast to Continental Europe, during what turned out to be the last year of the musician`s life. Wever captures some of Baker`s last recording sessions; weaves in excerpts from Italian B movies starring the handsome young Chet, as well as rare performance footage; pauses for candid interviews with Baker, musicians, friends, battling ex-wives and children and adds an extra visual dimension that is becoming the filmmaker`s personal stamp.

Dokumentarfilm über Chet Baker, einen der erfolgreichsten Jazz-Trompeter der 50er Jahre geb. 1930, entstanden wenige Monate vor seinem Tod im Mai 1988. Alte Fernseh- und Filmausschnitte, Interviews und Beobachtungen bei den letzten Studioaufnahmen fügen sich zu einem packenden Streifzug durch ein zerrissenes, von Höhen und Tiefen geprägtes Leben. Dabei beschönigt der Film nichts, betreibt keine Verklärung; und so ergänzen sich die pointierten, kunstvoll fotografierten und sich oft bewusst widersprechenden Bilder zu einem ebenso lyrischen wie mitleidlosen Porträt, das mitunter zynische Akzente setzt.
