Review of Man on Wire (2008) by Nicolas M — 08 Nov 2010

Quite possibly now my favorite Documenary Film. Just an inspiring, fantastic story, told incredibly well. The crew definitely benefits from the fact that Petit already filmed so much of the planning and practice of his act.

Petit's awe of the Towers, and the footage of them under construction were particularly impactful for me, and I suspect for many of my generation, who are too young to really appreciate the significance and ambition of those monumental buildings' going UP, and who are far too aquainted with the images of them burning and collapsing.
