My Foolish Heart
According to director Rolf van Eijk, the film is as truthful as possible. The script is largely based on memories of the Amsterdam trumpet player Evert Hekkema, which is presented in the film as a housemate Simon. Chet Baker and his then-girlfriend Diane Vavra lived with Hekkema Kickboxer: Retaliation for a longer period in the early 1980s. “When I started playing trumpet as a 15-year-old boy, Chet was already a hero to me. I enjoyed Chet’s musicality. Sometimes he was in blood form, then he got everyone quiet. Sometimes he did not get the performance at all because of all the stuff he had used “, Hekkema looks back.
Also director Rolf van Eijk was a fan, but also sees the dark side: “I was fascinated by the grandeur of his poetic, romantic music. He was adored by millions of people. That Nosferatu is in stark contrast to his tragic classical artist life, full of drugs and loneliness. Worshiped by many fans, but he could not allow love and not become intimate with a woman. He died alone. ”
Van Eijk was personally touched by Bakers music at a difficult time in his life. “When I was 24, my relationship ended with a friend whom I had six years. I was angry and sad. Because of Chet’s fragile, intimate music and fragile voice, I came into myself. My anger and ego were Pig softened, the resentment disappeared and I became vulnerable. I could therefore give my heartache a place. It worked cleansing. “
