Movie 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.
Industry Reviews
"...An architectural symphony....The film is a visual rhapsody enhanced with music and sound effects created by the renowned Japanese film composer Toru Takemitsu and two collaborators..."
New York Times - Stephen Holden (02/27/1998)
"Teshigahara's mobile, exploratory camera is a perfect match for the fin-de-siècle Catalan architect's artfully deranged yet totally organic buildings."
Film Comment - Film Comment Staff (03/01/2008)
"[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."
