Man on Wire

Man on Wire
4 stars
A fascinating yarn. Our hero, Philippe, is a bit of an egotist but we can presume that one must be in order to accomplish his Twin Towers wire-walk objective. His charisma is undeniably infectious, and the archival footage & photos are a joy to behold. The inclusion of French composer Erik Satie's piano music during the climactic moments is a fitting union of two iconoclasts.
