"Then You Will Live Your Life on the Tightrope."


I've been on a bit of documentary binge lately. Watching as many as I can from our instant queue. One of my favorites is Man on Wire. It is beautifully made. I enjoyed the multiple layers of the storytelling including interviews, Philippe Petit's video footage, reenactments, and photos. I particular loved the photos. When Philippe walked between Notre Dame, it looked like he was walking on air. How exquisite! When Philippe was plotting to walk between the two towers, those photos are also captivating. This documentary is so intriguing.
