Up To and Including Her Limits

About This Movie

Up To and Including Her Limits is a fascinating exploration of body and art, really. I mean, it’s not just a documentary; it’s an experience, with Schneemann suspended and drawing in a way that feels both liberating and confining. The atmosphere is charged, almost like you're witnessing a living canvas being created in real time. It’s a deep dive into the visceral connection between the artist and her medium, highlighting motion and intention. The pacing is contemplative, allowing you to really soak in each stroke she makes. It’s raw, and there's something about the practical effects of her movements that just pulls you in. You can almost feel the weight of her concentration.

This film has had limited availability on various formats over the years, which adds to its intrigue among collectors. The scarcity of physical releases makes it a unique find, especially for those interested in experimental cinema. It’s not the easiest to track down, but for those who appreciate the intersection of performance and visual art, it holds a special place in the collection landscape.
