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.

Something of a passion project, completed decades after an earlier visit by the director, the film is given over to an eager, rolling catalog of Gaudí's fin de siècle works sans much voiceover or any explanatory text.

It's kind of like watching someone's vacation videos without having them there to narrate.

Had Lewis Carroll switched from jotting down his visions to carving them in stone, his works might have looked a lot like Antonio Gaudí's.

Another key to Teshigahara's success is the haunting score by Toru Takemitsu, which conjures up Gaudi's storybook grandeur.

This 1984 documentary about the architect essentially lets Gaudi's work speak for itself, and it couldn't be more eloquent.

The film is a visual rhapsody enhanced with music and sound effects created by the renowned Japanese film composer Toru Takemitsu and two collaborators.
