Let’s Get Lost is a documentary film shot 1987-88 about the sad, interesting life of Jazz legend Chet Baker. He died within months of its release.

I saw this a couple nights ago. It’s playing for only one more night here in Seattle — tonite. Good one, Matt, wait till the last day. My apologies for not writing about this sooner.

:roll:

I’ve wanted to see this for — not kidding — 12 years. In fact, seeing a review of the film triggered my interest in Baker. It’s not on DVD, and renting the (out of print) VHS tape from Scarecrow Video requires a $200 deposit. It’s rare. Seeing it on the big screen was a treat.

I’m going to do a page for each contributor, so we’ll have all our posts together on our own page.
As for the film, sorry I didn’t get that post written sooner! You should still rent it if you have a VHS player.
