Man on Wire

Last night I saw the film, Man on Wire about the french artist Phillipe Petit and his daring, amazing, unfathomable and beautiful walk between the Twin Towers in 1974. I first became aware of this event after reading a compelling story about it in The New Yorker in 1987, and I have carried it around in my head, marveling on it thoughout the years. What he did in the name of self expression was extraordinary. I highly recommend this film.
