At home with rock 'n' roll monster Ginger Baker, Cream's legendary scarlet-maned, hell-raising drummer. This no-holds-barred, sad, and hilarious portrait of the man referred to as rock's first great drummer (and perhaps still its best) lets him tell his own story, intercut with footage of his continent-hopping life, from London to L.A., Nigeria, Italy, South Africa, and (way) beyond. Baker may have broken the mold musically, but his violent, dyspeptic mood swings, fueled by a multi-decade heroin addiction, went a long way to making him persona non grata even among the music greats who still revere his work. Eric Clapton, Johnny Rotten, Charlie Watts, and Lars Ulrich, Baker's 4 wives, and 3 grown children all have something to say about him: "He's a force of nature," "he's the greatest drummer any of us had ever heard," "he's mad," and "he's fairly consistently horrible" are just a few of them.Movie Title : Beware Of Mr. Baker

Review For Movie Beware Of Mr. Baker
Ginger Baker has been revealed as a major talent, an innovator and an unlikely survivor. And a not very nice guy.Tom Long-Detroit News
Ginger Baker is, and was, a train wreck. Yet this film, like Baker's onstage playing, is always riveting, and something you can't look away from.
Charles Cross-Seattle Times
"Beware of Mr. Baker" is comprehensive, if somewhat overly glowing.
Michael O'Sullivan-Washington Post
The takeaway: great musician, deficient family man, taxing friend and bandmate, excellent documentary subject.
Gary Goldstein-Los Angeles Times
This is warts and all, with the emphasis on the warts.
David Lewis-San Francisco Chronicle
"Beware of Mr. Baker" argues that when an artist consistently delivers amazement, broken beaks and busted relationships are a fair price to pay.
Colin Covert-Minneapolis Star Tribune
This straightforward yet insightful documentary pays tribute to its subject without resorting to hagiography.
Todd Jorgenson-Cinemalogue.com
I watched Beware of Mr. Baker and longed for the time when rock was good, musicians were gods, and good god, the parties and the playing were species of their own.
Matt Pais-RedEye
Although it hits many of the same notes as other recent musical docs, Beware of Mr. Baker nevertheless does a satisfactory job of capturing a restless personality.
Radheyan Simonpillai-NOW Toronto
Even if you have no special interest in Baker's music, he's a compelling and witty subject.
Chris Hewitt (St. Paul)-St. Paul Pioneer Press
The madman of rock drumming hasn't mellowed. Or croaked. That's two miracles attached to Ginger Baker's name.
Roger Moore-McClatchy-Tribune News Service
Deftly presented, with appropriate respect for the past but a clear sense of intellectual curiosity mixed with editorial detachment, one need not fear from the warnings about Mr. Baker, as long as you duck from the swings of his cane.
Jason Gorber-Twitch
Lots of surprises and unusual brio. . . in sorting out decades of stories and confusing points of view [with] visual documentation. Very entertaining.
Nora Lee Mandel-Film-Forward.com
Ginger Baker's perpetual enigma makes for a documentary subject both beguiling and inaccessible, receding and aggressing.
Cynthia Fuchs-PopMatters
The rock documentary to be seen by all those who swore they would never see another.
Ron Wilkinson-Monsters and Critics
This intense, imaginative and wild little film celebrates an unrepentant madman, one of rock'n'roll's surprise survivors, drummer Ginger Baker.
Marshall Fine-Hollywood & Fine

Movie Overview For Beware Of Mr. Baker
Ginger Baker is known for playing in Cream and Blind Faith, but the world's greatest drummer didnât hit his stride until 1972, when he arrived in Nigeria and discovered Fela Kuti's Afrobeat. After leaving Nigeria, Ginger returned to his pattern of drug-induced self-destruction, and countless groundbreaking musical works, eventually settling in South Africa, where the 73-year-old lives with his young bride and 39 polo ponies. This documentary includes interviews with Eric Clapton, Steve Winwood, Carlos Santana and more. Beware of Mr. Baker! With every smash of the drum is a man smashing his way through life.
