Product Description
A collection of Bruce Weber's finest films - including Let's Get Lost, Chop Suey, A Letter to True and Broken Noses
Product Description
United Kingdom released, PAL/Region 2 DVD: LANGUAGES: English ( Dolby Digital 2.0 ), SPECIAL FEATURES: Booklet, Box Set, Documentary, Interactive Menu, Multi-DVD Set, Music Video, Scene Access, Short Film, SYNOPSIS: A Letter to True (2004)
A collection of the director's favorite images of his dogs, friends, and historical world events.
Broken Noses (1987)
This documentary follows former Golden Gloves boxing champion Andy Minsker as he trains hopeful pugilists at the Mount Scott boxing club in Portland, Oregon. Those hoping to master the gentle art receive guidance and philosophical insight from the colorful Minsker.
Let's Get Lost (1988)
Let's Get Lost is a deep Oscar-nominated documentary on the life of jazz trumpeter Chet Baker (1929-1988). After a generous amount of screen time devoted to Baker's American career, from his days with Charlie 'Bird' Parker and Gerry Mulligan to the formation of his own combo, the film dwells upon Baker's lengthy tenure in Europe. Of particular interest are the clips culled from Baker's appearances in Italian films of the 1960s. In-depth interviews with Baker's friends and co-workers paint a portrait of a troubled genius, whose drug addiction and womanizing gradually eroded his talent. Much of the terminal footage is literally that, showing in harsh detail what Chet Baker had become in his last year on earth.
Chop Suey (2001)
In this autobiographical film, Bruce Weber looks back on his career as both photographer and filmmaker. A photographer never knows where their work will take them; this photographer has ended up in the most incredible places - from the catwalks of the world's fashion capitals to the remotest parts of the Arabian desert. Wherever he is, however, one thing never changes, namely the intimacy between photographer and subject...Bruce Weber Collection - 5-DVD Box Set ( A Letter to True / Broken Noses / Let's Get Lost / Chop Suey )

sweet, sentimental, romantic, artistic and even finally managed to get rid of the early coyness in the frank & honest Chop Suey Club. the whole spectrum of the Bruce Weber aura that got a whole generation of boys mesmerized are now in whole. definitely worths all the waiting (since 1987 in fact, hehehhe..)!!!

For a long time the production company of these films weren't able to clear the rights or for some other reason these films where not available to everybody. So now I can chuck out the bad quality VHS copies of rare foreign broadcasts of these films. It is a perfect set of films and also included is a wonderful booklet with Weber's stills. It is really amazing to have a set this complete and of great quality image- and soundwise, but also the way the fold-out box is designed and presented is very attractive. This is very good value for a collection of filmed works of art that are so seldom seen.
The films, including the extra's with a lot of shorts, are of great beauty, gorgeous photography and design. Not only his well-known Chet Baker film is impressive, but the others are of equal stature. The documentaries and fiction works; they are done very fashionable (would use the term sexy in most cases) in ways of lightning, editing, use of (often jazz) music, so it can be a matter of taste as well. But they create a romantic atmosphere of great melancholy and nostalgia; a Weber world.

Long awaited DVD release of Bruce Weber's film and documentary work. There are a few short films missing like 'Backyard Movie' and one or two short films and music videos....let's hope he will release those at a later stage.
All in all, a very great collection for Bruce Weber admirers.
