Man on a Wire
I saw Man on a Wire last night. In short it’s a documentary about Philippe Petit’s illegal tightrope walking between the twin towers of the World Trade Center in 1974.
Can a 94 minute movie really fill those 94 minutes sufficiently? Yes. The answer is yes.
There are so many elements to this movie: it’s a thriller and a caper and an inspirational documentary all in one. Philippe is a fascinating individual. I was enthralled and I’d recommend it.

One of my officemates also just saw this. He seemed to really enjoy it.
