Review of Man on Wire (2008) by Mike P — 25 Aug 2013
The images of Philippe Petit's 1974 high-wire walk between the World Trade Center's Twin Towers in New York evokes an indescribable majesty. There's something so exhilarating and whimsical about seeing a man laying in the air, 110 stories above ground.
Adding to the excitement is the manner in which Petit and crew pulled off this illegal, audacious activity; a fine example of how fact is often stranger than fiction. Michael Nyman's score contributes to the vertigo-inducing action and Petit's infectious enthusiasm for his achievement (and life in general) makes 'Man on Wire' a fascinating, must-see tale.
