Event
Let's Get Lost
Guest Speaker: Film and Jazz critic, Gene Seymour
Admission includes post-screening reception
Part documentary, part film poem, Bruce Webers Lets Get Lost is a patchwork valentine to the trumpet player Chet Baker, who emerged in the 50s and died in 1988, at the age of 58, after an accidental fall from a third floor window of an Amsterdam hotel. His premature death robbed the world of an instrumentalist and vocal stylist whose breezy, fluid playing delivered a singular, unmistakable emotion. Baker, the man, was the quintessence of cool, a master of pose and look, who could seem as lost or distant as his playing suggests. Each word Baker utters is the reluctant admission of a permanent stranger. But it is Bakers face that tells the true story. One of the films most striking effects is the contrast between the perfectly scrupted looks of the young musician and those of the older man whose life and ruin seem to have been carved into his face with the rudest strokes. The encounter with this odd spirit is successively strange, funny, lyrical, and unsettling. Famed photographer Weber has created a film as cool, beautiful, and enigmatic as Baker himself.
