Antonio Gaudi

(Hiroshi Teshigahara, Japan 1984, 72 min., 35mm)

Japanese filmmaker Teshigahara orchestrates a beautiful exploration of several buildings and a park designed by the Catalan architect Antonio Gaudí (1852–1926). Avoiding voiceover and interviews, Teshigahara provides historical information through titles that barely disrupt the enveloping beauty of the images. Back by popular demand, this is a must for anyone interested in architecture. The gorgeous cinematography provides perspectives on the Barcelona locations that you couldn’t get if you were there in person! New 35mm print!
