Gaudi: A Visual Feast

This is a well-crafted film that provides a fascinating glimpse of some of Gaudi's most famous works. The film is a riveting visual feast; excellent cinematography with a unique musical score that complements the architecture. (There is no narrative or dialogue.) The film opens with a quick look at the culture of Spain  through its art and architecture, establishing a background against which to juxtapose Gaudi's radical departure from the historical past. Little is told of Gaudi's life; instead this documentary concentrates on some of his more iconic work and does so brilliantly. It leaves one wanting more...much more! Who was this man? How did he do it? What else did he design? This feast for the eyes and ears  is highly recommended!
