Man on Wire



QD and I saw this film last night about Phillippe petit's quest to walk a tightrope between the top of the twin towers. It was utterly uplifting and fascinating and the way the documentarian chose to tell the story in the bank heist genre was genius. Go see it!

I just read the script on the plane this morning for the play I'm working on with Anna next spring - and Phillipe Petit is one of the characters! He actually walks the wire on stage!

As Johnny Carson would say (were he not dead), "That is some weird, wild stuff."
