[I]t fuses images of Gaudi's unique creations with long-term Teshigahara collaborator Takemitsu Toru's equally striking score to create something completely mesmerizing.

Something of a passion project, completed decades after an earlier visit by the director, the film is given over to an eager, rolling catalog of Gaudí's fin de siècle works sans much voiceover or any explanatory text. Full Review

Teshigahara's mobile, exploratory camera is a perfect match for the fin-de-siècle Catalan architect's artfully deranged yet totally organic buildings.

Rating: 3.5/4 -- Another key to Teshigahara's success is the haunting score by Toru Takemitsu, which conjures up Gaudi's storybook grandeur. Full Review

Rating: 3/4 -- Had Lewis Carroll switched from jotting down his visions to carving them in stone, his works might have looked a lot like Antonio Gaudí's. Full Review

Instead of using voiceover narration, Teshigahara uses the camera to glide through Gaudi's bizarre Barcelonean structures. Full Review

Product Description:

Director Teshigahara creates a kind of visual documentary--there is little narration--about Antonio Gaudi, the brilliant and bizarre Catalan architect. The camera simply explores the Casa Vicens, Park Guell, Casa Batllo, Casa Mila, Templo de La Sagrada Familia, then suggests some of his influences by filming bits of the Moniserrat caves as well as Roman churches.
