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.

Don't be surprised if after seeing this movie you find yourself eyeing travel brochures for Barcelona.

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.
