Antonio Gaudí
Antoni Gaud(1852–1926), a Catalan architect, developed some of the world's most extraordinary structures, interiors, and parks; Hiroshi Teshigahara, a Japanese director, created some of the second half of the twentieth century's most aesthetically adventurous films. Their artistic visions collide in this one-of-a-kind, fascinating cinematic experience. Teshigahara's Antoni Gaud is less of a documentary than it is a visual poem, taking viewers on a tour of Gaud's genuinely amazing architecture, including his colossal yet incomplete Sagrada Familia cathedral in Barcelona. Teshigahara immortalizes Gaud on film with camerawork as sensual and bold as the curves on his subject's organic surfaces.
