We welcome you to Paradise for this beautiful screening on the life of the great Chet Baker.

Documentary on the life of jazz trumpeter and drug addict Chet Baker. Fascinating series of interviews with friends, family, associates and lovers, interspersed with film from Baker's earlier life and some modern-day performances.

Óli Kondrup Tríó invite to a concert after the film in the foyer where the program will revolve around the songs that Chet sang and played. Let's get lost in Paradise!

Entertainment Weekly gave the film an 'A−' rating and said that Weber 'created just about the only documentary that works like a novel, inviting you to read between the lines of Baker's personality until you touch the secret sadness at the heart of his beauty'.

Terrence Rafferty, in his review for The New York Times, wrote,

'The enduring fascination of Let's Get Lost, the reason it remains powerful even now, when every value it represents is gone, is that it's among the few movies that deal with the mysterious, complicated emotional transactions involved in the creation of pop culture — and with the ambiguous process by which performers generate desire'.
