简介:1974年8月7日,法国杂技名人菲利普·珀蒂(保罗·麦克吉尔 Paul McGill饰)在纽约世贸大厦高达110层(412米)的两座大楼之间,完成了一次至今仍令人叹为观止的壮举——搭起了一条横跨天穹的钢索,完成了长达45分钟的大胆表演。谁也想不到,这个害羞的25岁男孩菲利普,在朋友们的帮助下,缜密调查筹划,突破层层关卡,终于神不知鬼不觉地完成了这次极其危险而疯狂的“艺术犯罪”。菲利普在钢索上或跪或躺,时而慢行时而舞动。影片镜头细腻地捕捉到了当年无比惊险的分秒,并生动地重演了现场,再加上人物访谈等多种手法,使得这部逐梦世贸大厦间的纪录片,在美国911事件后,弥足珍贵。 这部由BBC、Discovery和UK Film Council联合出品的传记类纪录片《走钢丝的人》,荣获2009年第81届奥斯卡金像奖-最佳纪录长片,2009年第62届英国电影和电视艺术学院奖-最佳英国影片,及2008年第21届欧洲电影奖-最佳纪录片奖提名。
