From: Category: Art Date: 01 August 2009 Time: 07:26 AM Review: The documentary was boring, most of it was a reenactment of some people sitting under a piece of plastic in a building. They could have made it much shorter. It was of course beautiful to see the shots of the man on the wire, and it was charming to hear the sympathetic cop describing it, but really they could have cut to the chase. The French man was extremely annoying, thought he was some kind of poet. It was made recently, and as such, though I may admire the dancing on a wire, etc. I really don't appreciate such hype of a film that was worthy of a panorama type documentary. In my teens I used to watch those re enactments of rescues, and I found them more compelling that this.
