Dir. James Marsh, UK, 2007, 94 mins

This documentary has won awards and moved people to tears wherever it has been screened. It recounts the story behind Frenchman Philippe Petit’s high-wire walk between the twin towers of New York’s World Trade Center on 7 August 1974. The film is every bit as giddy and constantly breathtaking as the story it tells and while we know the outcome is a successful one the tension of planning the stunt plays out like the best heist, ratcheting up the suspense. Of course, the spectre of modern American history is always hovering in the background too. The stunt took place the week that the Watergate story broke and the fate of the twin towers is known by everyone; which gives the film a poignancy that is never overplayed.
