Review of Man on Wire (2008) by Matt M — 06 Oct 2012
James Marsh's film makes great use of the best techniques that make a documentary film gripping, from meticulous re-enactment to intimate talking heads interview. The film effectively builds up the right tension that should walk hand in hand with portraying a feat that has been described as the artistic crime of the century.
It helps, of course, that the man whom this film revolves around, Philippe Petit, is an enchanting character who tells his story with such passion.
