Weber takes the title for his film from the Chet Baker album that changed his life when he picked it up as a teenager in Pittsburgh. So began a decades-long obsession with Baker’s life and career. Weber came to make this documentary because he was a fan (investing his own money in the making of the film). But such adoration doesn’t always make for the best perspective in a documentary. The portrait can be too flattering or too gushing. But Weber finds the perfect balance of awe and honesty, showing us what seduced him as well as what existed behind the mesmerizing and iconic image.
