Let's Get Lost
Renowned photographer and filmmaker Bruce Weber weaves together in glorious black and white the tragic rise and fall of jazz idol Chet Baker, once described as a cross between James Dean and Jack Kerouac.

The documentary traces Baker's story from his rise in the jazz world as a celebrated trumpeter and singer playing with the likes of Charlie Parker, to his tragic decline in the 1980s which saw the fading of his matinee idol looks, his struggle to book gigs and his battle with heroin addiction.
