I saw "Man On Wire" at the Wellington FF opening. It's a documentary about Philippe Petit's wire-walk across the Word Trade Center towers in 1974.
I loved it! The doco playfully styles itself as a heist movie, complete with a "man on the inside". The shadow of 9/11 looms, but the film lets the wire-walk be the focus. Though it's nice to see the WTC in its infancy, just as New York was coming to grips with this strange new building.
Lesson learned: all your dreams can come true, but don't expect to keep all your friendships/relationships.
