DVD of the Month - "Chet Baker: Let's Get Lost"

DVD of the Month
"Let's Get Lost starring Chet Baker" (Metrodome) 2008

At long last the official DVD release of "Let's Get Lost", the one-of-a-kind bittersweet splendid documentary by the superphotographer Bruce Weber about jazz legend Chet Baker.
Hip & sad, cool & somber, it received an Academy Award Oscar nomination for "Best Documentary" and won the Critic's Prize at the Venice Film Festival.
This DVD (issued in UK, region code 2) includes some special features:
"Looking Again for Chet in All The Familiar Places," a new short film including previously unseen images commented by director Bruce Weber and executive producer Nan Bush;
"Let's Get Lost Kodachrome Newsreel" shot by cinematographer Jeff Preiss;
Bruce Weber's short film "The Teddy Boys of the Edwardian Drape Society";
and two Chet Baker music videos directed by Weber ("Everything Happens To Me" and "Almost Blue").
Once again I felt deeply moved watching this brilliant film once again; not only because I've been a big fan of Chet since my childhood, but also because I had the chance to meet him in person (and hang out with him!) back in 1985, when he went to Rio for the first Free Jazz Festival. On that occasion, the myth patiently autographed many LPs and CDs of my Chet Baker collection.
Through this film I also became aware of the most beautiful and fascinating woman I've ever known, the eternally bewitching Lisa Marie (now Lisa Marie Smith and a dear friend in LA).
