©2008 Jean-Louis Blondeau / Polaris ImagesWidely acknowledged as one of the best documentaries of 2008, Man On Wire, is a certified crowd-pleaser that is well-made and critically acclaimed.
The film is about Philip Petit's wirewalking stunt between the two towers of the World Trade Center in New York. Even for 1974, this was quite a daring operation involving a team of accomplices. Recent interviews, blended with old footage and reenactments, make this movie a winner many times over at the Oscars, Sundance, Rotten Tomatoes and the BAFTAs. Technically a British production, the recent French Film Festival should have included this in the lineup because the main characters are French. Fair enough, right?
Thanks for this!
