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

Don't be surprised if after seeing this movie you find yourself eyeing travel brochures for Barcelona.
Kansas City Star
Instead of using voiceover narration, Teshigahara uses the camera to glide through Gaudi's bizarre Barcelonean structures.

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.

Slant Magazine
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.

Description by OLDIES.com:
Catalan architect Antonio 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. Here their artistry melds in a unique, enthralling cinematic experience. Less a documentary than a visual poem, Teshigahara's Antonio Gaudí takes viewers on a tour of Gaudí's truly spectacular architecture, including his massive, still-unfinished masterpiece, the Sagrada Familia cathedral in Barcelona. With camera work as bold and sensual as the curves of his subject's organic structures, Teshigahara immortalizes Gaudí on film.
