In 1974, Philippe Petit committed one of the world’s greatest “art crimes”: walking across a tightrope strung between the then unfinished World Trade Centre towers. James Marsh’s inspiring documentary Man on Wire tells artist Philippe Petit’s story from his early days as an aspiring performer of circus arts, through his wire walks between the towers of Notre Dame and across the Sydney Harbour Bridge, and up through the lengthy planning and execution of his famous World Trade Centre high-wire stunt. Filled with jaw-dropping footage of NYC and paced like a ’70s-era heist film, this is both thrilling and profound, a movie that reaches great heights.
Ym 1974, cerddodd Philipe Petit ar draws rhaff dynn rhwng tyrau Canolfan Masnach y Byd. Mae’r ffilm hon yn adrodd hanes Petit o’i ddyddiau cynnar fel perfformiwr mewn syrcas, i gerdded rhaffau rhwng tyrrau Notre Dame, ac ar hyd Pont Harbwr Sydney. Gyda golygfeydd anghredadwy o gyffrous, peidiwch ag edrych i lawr!
