Synopsis
James Marsh’s exhilarating ‘Man on Wire’ chronicles the infamous tightrope walk between the twin towers of New York City’s World Trade Center conducted by Philippe Petit in 1974, and based on Petit’s book ‘To Reach the Clouds’. Marsh constructs the documentary like a heist film, using footage of Petit’s preparations for his daredevil walk along with contemporary interviews of the participants. The film won the BAFTA for Outstanding British Film and the Oscar for Best Documentary Feature in 2009.
