Directed by James MarshStarring Phillipe Petit
90 mins.
Rated PG-13
2008 was a great year for documentaries, and James Marsh's Man on Wire was certainly the best. Playing less like a documentary and more like a thriller, it tells the story of Phillipe Petit's walk on a tightrope between the Twin Towers in 1974. To the director's credit, 9/11 is never mentioned once, and why should it be? This isn't what the film is about. It's a great tale of a man triumphing over nature.
