A documentary about one man's lifelong desire to walk a tightrope between the Twin Towers. It's a fascinating story, and it has some great, hauntingly beautiful images of -- get this -- a man on a wire. But the film feels incomplete. We see the man and his posse of followers, and we wonder, what do these people do for money, how do they have years to spend just planning the event and practicing in the backyard, why do hippies from the US hang out with this French guy, in short who are these people? It's also confusing what was authentic footage and what was reenacted, and if it was authentic, who was filming and why. That's too many questions for such a simple film.
