A man who's spent his life literally putting his life on the line, with an obsession with the Twin Towers since childhood, when they were just being built; wife and friends who've supported his playful obsession with balance, and filmed him and each other since they were young; a film-maker who saw and conveyed the beauty and awareness in all these faces, of Philippe Petit and his friends, and of their footage of each other, and who recreated the astonishing drama of a series of illegal high-wire acts culminating in rigging a cable between the Twin Towers and walking, sitting, lying, dancing on it for 40 minutes a quarter of a mile up... Breathtaking, beautiful, and thoughtful, too. Man on Wire.
