Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí (1852–1926) designed some of the world’s most astonishing buildings, interiors, and parks; Japanese director Hiroshi Teshigahara constructed some of the most aesthetically audacious films ever made. In Antonio Gaudí, their artistry melds in a unique, enthralling cinematic experience. Less a documentary than a visual poem, Teshigahara’s film takes viewers on a tour of Gaudí’s truly spectacular architecture, including his massive, still-unfinished masterpiece, the Sagrada Família basilica in Barcelona. With camera work as bold and sensual as the curves of his subject’s organic structures, Teshigahara immortalizes Gaudí on film. (Criterion)

Antonio Gaudi is a seemingly simple documentary, but that restraint is the film’s main strength, as well as an expression of respect for and understanding of Gaudí's work. Teshigahara does not need to explain or defend his film or furnish it with historical data and facts. He lets the buildings speak for themselves. The director’s essential contribution lies in the filming of the shots, which again exhibits a much greater aesthetic feel than may be apparent at first glance. Teshigahara takes a unique approach to every building and every element; sometimes static shots predominate, whereas at other times sharp camera movements and absolutely floating approaches are used. Each shot emphasises the jaggedness, organicity, variety and structure of Gaudí’s buildings, or rather their individual elements, which are revealed based on what the camera is focused on. Only a master can best capture masterpieces.
