Antonio Gaudi (Blu-ray)

Catalan architect Antoni Gaud (18521926) designed some of the worlds most astonishing buildings, interiors, and parks; Japanese director Hiroshi Teshigahara constructed some of the most aesthetically audacious films ever made. In Antonio Gaud, their artistry melds in a unique, enthralling cinematic experience. Less a documentary than a visual poem, Teshigaharas film takes viewers on a tour of Gauds truly spectacular architecture, including his massive, still-unfinished masterpiece, the Sagrada Famlia basilica in Barcelona. With camera work as bold and sensual as the curves of his subjects organic structures, Teshigahara immortalizes Gaud on film.
