Eye For Film >> Movies >> Let's Get Lost (1988) DVD Review
The picture quality is clear enough, although the archive footage has scratches, as one would expect. The contemporary footage is grainy, but the high contrast black and white pictures suit Baker's wrinkled appearance perfectly and add to the mood.
The sound is fine, and allows Baker's smooth singing voice and trumpet to sound as good as they should. Subtitling is all present and correct.
Let's Get Lost's DVD package is a nice addition to the film itself. Looking Again For Chet Baker is a short film giving much the same information as the main feature. The colour footage is even more of the same. There's nothing outstanding in either, but fans will be glad of their inclusion.
The Teddy Boys Of The Edwardian Drape Society is an unrelated short film by Bruce Weber. I wouldn't call it much more than people dancing for a few minutes, but it's a nice bonus for anyone interested in Weber's work.
There aren't any extras that you absolutely must see, but if you want a little garnish on top of the main feature, they're worth a look.
