If you loved Harlan County U.S.A., try Man on Wire
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Theysit in Documentary territory. If that's the register that drew you to Harlan County U.S.A., the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Man on Wire is
Ocean's Eleven without the casino. A French wire-walker assembles a team to sneak into the World Trade Center and string a tightrope between the towers. The film's charm comes from the ringleader's utter lack of guile.
