He’s so excessive, so creative, so each day is like a work of art for him. What excited him most about this adventure aside from being a beautiful show was that it was like a bank robbery.
Man on Wire is one of those intoxicating, absurd adventures with no real point other than the pursuit of the sublime – it’s amazing in the same way as Fitzcarraldo or The Burden of Dreams. It is prolly my favorite doc other than Burden of Dreams or maybe The Act of Killing.
