Based on Phillipe Petit's novel To Reach the Clouds, James Marsh's documentary retells through interviews, pictures and reconstructions the pursuit of Phillipe's dream to walk on a wire between the World Trade Centre towers.
Billed as a heist movie Marsh gets the audiences heart racing before they even reach the rooftops of the towers, but there's no questioning the videos and pictures of Phillipe at work have a majestic awe of their own.
Its to the credit of Phillipe's passion and storytelling that you are at all times aware of the risks but at all times believe in him.

Beautifully weird , twisted and dark with pitch black humour and some serious style and truly lovely chemistry between Ruth Gordon and Bud Cort. I loved the 4th wall breaks and overall attitude that comes with Harold and Maude... some people will be disgusted and put off by the premise and this film doesn't care in the slightness .
Apart from a few pacing issues and instances of editing that has clearly aged badly , Harold and Maude is a wild and strange ride of a movie with a big big big (slightly deranged) heart.
Honestly, I'm surprised it took me this long to watch Harold and Maude. It's such a fantastically fun film, with some really memorable characters and an atmospheric soundtrack provided by the legendary Cat Stevens.
