Notwithstanding Bruce Weber's tireless idolatry of the young and the beautiful, his 1988 film about junkie cool-jazzer Chet Baker stands up fantastically well - even better, maybe, than the first time around, now it's no longer overshadowed by its own fashionability. It's not exactly a documentary, more a lovingly-filmed homage, but some candid interview material allows scraps of Baker's story to emerge: heroin, faithlessness and unreliability all loom large. All this is complemented by Weber's long, atmospheric inserts - mostly shots of Baker singing, or driving, or just walking around. Wonderful stuff.
