Man on Wire (2008)

Amy asked me recently how to make a great documentary. My fast answer was: have great people to interview. Man on Wire adds more ingredients to the recipe: have incredible vintage footage and photos of an incredible event, and then show the same people 30 years later, talking about it. Then dramatize other parts of the action with actors. Very satisfying, and recommended for everyone, even if you are afraid of heights, as I am. It seems that it will be playing another week at our single-screen "art house."
