Let’s Get Lost (1989)

Let’s Get Lost (1989) – B. Weber

Warts and all doco about trumpeter Chet Baker who lost his way after stardom in the 1950s. Beautifully shot but full of non-sequiturs (what's Flea doing on that beach?) and a certain overly pretty quality. But the melancholic tone carries the film and even if Baker isn't sympathetic, his music connects on an emotional level.
