Overview

Documentary about jazz great Chet Baker that intercuts footage from the 1950s, when he was part of West Coast Cool, and from his last years. We see the young Baker, he of the beautiful face, in California and in Italy, where he appeared in at least one movie and at least one jail cell (for drug possession). And, we see the aged Baker, detached, indifferent, his face a ruin. Includes interviews with his children and ex-wife, women companions, and musicians.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A haunting portrait of Chet Baker's rise and decline, juxtaposing archival footage of his luminous youth against testimony of his addiction-ravaged final years. It's less a celebration of his music than a meditation on how brilliance and self-destruction intertwine.
