Man on Wire



Sublime. Everything which Tyler said it is, and even more. For the first time, I feel I understand what the surrealists were trying to do, and this man is a great surrealist artist. The movie is also the story of a tragedy, and one which appears inevitable after the fact.
The mob, when they are gazing at a dancer on the slack rope, naturally writhe and twist and balance their own bodies, as they see him do, and as they feel that they themselves must do if in his situation.
Adam Smith TOMS

Postscript
: I was amazed to see that the movie was part produced by the BBC and was funded by the UK Film Council.
