Released in 1989, the film was nominated for an Academy Award for best documentary, and was shown in several international film festivals, where – among the many awards it received – it won the Critics Prize at the Venice Film Festival. Its success among audiences and critics was a complete surprise for the director Bruce Weber, who had financed the project himself.
Showing the ups and downs of jazz trumpeter Chet Baker’s life, Weber and his cinematographer Jeff Preiss followed the musician’s trips across the United States and Europe, and so recorded for posterity the most important moments of what turned out to be the last year of his life.
