Man on Wire + The Bridge
Been catching up on a few movies lately. First, The Bridge, which came out a few years ago. I didn’t really think it was super awesome but still I found it to be pretty challenging and brave. Next up was Man on Wire. Someone told me a few months ago that while the trailer was good, the movie didn’t add much to it. Wrong wrong wrong. Man on Wire was really well edited and everything from the expressionistic re-enactments to the talking head interviews were executed in a way that made you feel like you might as well have been watching The Usual Suspects.
What impressed me most though was the archival still photography. I was initially impressed by the photo used on the movie’s poster but being able to see a collection of similar photos throughout the movie is awesome. Here are a few examples.
look closely and you can see Philippe Petit as a black speck floating
can you see him now?
On that note, if yr in Toronto this month, check out Contact and Hot Docs festivals. Tonnes of stuff happening.
