...Marsh's film works best as what he calls a "heist" film - sort of an Ocean's 1350. Using interviews with Petit and his pals, what stills and stock footage as exist and a lot of recreations, he makes something reasonably suspenseful out of the logistics of this not-so-merry band gathering their equipment, rehearsing Petit's act and sneaking into the WTC. But the tightrope walk is a letdown; the conspirator who had a movie camera up there on the roof forgot to turn it on. So the big climax - man on very high wire (or should...

"It took several trips and several more years before I understood what had happened," says Falceto. "These big bands were dead. They just didn't exist any more." Incredibly, the vibrancy of Addis's musical life in the 60's and 70's owed its all to the municipal and military bands that were sponsored by the emperor Haile Selassie until his overthrow...
