Movie: "Man on Wire"

This fascinating documentary film looks at tightrope walker Philippe Petit's daring, but illegal, high-wire routine performed between New York City's World Trade Center's twin towers in 1974, what some consider, "the artistic crime of the century." A mood of anticipatory sadness and nostalgia for a pre-9/11 world suffuses the film and  “Man on Wire” celebrates their most uplifting, poetic moment. In the end, there can be little doubt that this film joins the ever-lengthening list of works about 9/11. Please register in person, by phone (847-945-3311) or online at www.deerfieldlibrary.org.
