Such a beautiful and amazing documentary about one man's passion and his ultimate dream and the desire to achieve his dream. Man on Wire is a 2008 Oscar winning British documentary film directed by
James Marsh. The film chronicles Philippe Petit's 1974 high-wire walk
between the Twin Towers of New York's World Trade Center. It is based on
Philippe Petit's book, To Reach the Clouds, recently released in
paperback with the new title Man on Wire.
The title of the movie is
taken from the police report that led to the arrest (and later release)
of Petit, whose performance had lasted for almost one hour. The film is
crafted like a heist film, presenting rare footage of the preparations
for the event and still photographs of the walk, alongside reenactments
(with Paul McGill as the young Petit) and present-day interviews with
the participants.
