Petit's idea of a beautiful death, and a beautiful life, is so very compelling because it speaks to a passion that is as rare as his singular accomplishment pictured above.
Deviant, madman, clown, icon: Petit draws an interesting cast of characters around himself, yet he remains a "castaway on the island of his dreams". That too is one of the film's great takeaways: sometimes the most iconoclastic and aberrative behaviour is the most universally savored.
