Man on Wire
Utterly breathtaking!
Philippe Petit has to be one of the most fascinating men I've ever seen...this documentary blew me away.
His story is mindblowing, uplifting and endlessly inspiring. The lengths that he went to in the name of art and to accomplish his dream are utterly astounding. When you compound that with the simple fact that HE WALKED BETWEEN THE TWIN TOWERS ON A FUCKING TIGHTROPE...goddamn!
I wouldn't really my call myself an expert on documentaries, but in my somewhat limited experience this has to be the single great doc that I've ever seen. If you're a fan of performance art or of great documentary filmmaking - see this, right now.
