One Week Only: Lets Get Lost

March 7, 2008 by Svetlana

While attempting to watch a one-week-only movie engagement is a task so hard to coordinate for me, I feel like giving up before trying, I will work very hard to make an exception for this.

For the next seven days E Street Cinema is bringing back the 1989 documentary on Chet Baker, and done by the legendary photographer Bruce Weber (who died just months after making this). On a snazzy new 35 mm print to boot!

It is a treat all around.
If you love music-you should see it.
If you love movies-you should see it.
If you love stunning black and white photo/cinematography-you should see it.
If you like getting lost in a sad but thrilling tale of great talent ravaged by its own genius-you should see it.

I think that pretty much covers all of you, right?

Here is the press release:
Traveling with elusive jazz vocalist and trumpeter Chet Baker, filmmaker and photographer Bruce Weber weaves together the life story of a jazz great. Weber’s acclaimed documentary uses excerpts from Italian B movies, rare performance footage and candid interviews with Baker, musicians, friends, battling ex-wives and his children in what turned out to be the last year of his life. This evocative portrait of a troubled man who made beautiful music has introduced a whole new generation of jazz enthusiasts to the timeless talent of “the James Dean of jazz.” Winner of the 1989 Critics Prize at the Venice Film Festival. An Academy Award nominee for Best Documentary Feature.

And here are the showtimes:
