The Pleasure of Rope (extended 3-DVD collector’s edition)
You might have already seen a shorter 90 minute version as a download on Vimeo but this is the full unabridged version which adds over 100 minutes of previously unseen material to make it the definitive documentary on the subject.
Never before has there been such a thorough exploration of this art. Bob’s journey started over 6 years ago in Bethnal Green, London, at an international shibari festival but took him all the way to Tokyo to get to the roots. It has been 5 years in the making, during which time he has followed many of the participants, internationally famous performers and models.
