Man On Wire

Release Year: 2008

Review: A documentary thats in a class of its own. Man on Wire isnt simply about a tightrope walker crossing the Twin Towers, but a suspenseful and thrilling caper film. Director James Marsh artfully constructs the film in such a way that leaves you in constant awe and intrigue of the films colorful subject, Philippe Petit. Philippe adds a certain charm to the film, exuding enthusiasm for his work, where even during the interviews he is barely able to contain is passion for his art. This is one of the best documentaries ever made, and one of the best films of the year.

Rating: 5/5
