'Let's get Lost' a documentary film by Bruce Weber that was released in 1988 about the famous trumpet player Chet Baker has recently been restored and is showing at MK2 Beaubourg in Paris. Weber is one of my favourite photographers so I was interested to see how in photographed this documentary in the same way I couldn't wait to see what Anton Corbijn did with his first feature film Control. There were many common threads from his photographs, the beautiful boys, the movement and fun and the dogs! Weber spent over a million dollars of his own money on this private project that reminds me of the collages he often makes in the middle of a photo story, snapshots of life. One of the most wonderful discoveries in the film was the interview with photographer William Claxton http://www.williamclaxton.com/movie.html and a montage of photographs he took of Chet Baker at the beginning of his career. Gorgeous black and whites that ooze charisma and charm. Bravo Bruce! http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0095515/
