Man on Wire
UK / USA / 2008

The story of Philipe Petit’s 1974 tightrope walk between the World Trade Center towers is incredible. This walk is so visually and conceptually audacious that the still image of him seemingly floating between the Twin Towers is more than adequate in describing the event. Man on Wire is a thoroughly decent film, all told, but it is a rather elongated Greatest Hits compilation for Michael Nyman, whose old scores – specifically for The Cook, The Thief, His Wife, and Her Lover – are reprised throughout.
