Criterion presents Hiroshi Teshigahara’s lovely wordless visual tour of Gaudi’s most famous Barcelona landmarks and gives art fans what Teshigahara doesn’t with the bonus features, namely, a history of the architect and his importance to religious art in a terrific BBC doc that may be better than the feature presentation. Both films linger with stunning camera work on some of Gaudi’s unique masterpieces – Park Guell, Casa Mila, Colonia Guell Church, and the still unfinished behemoth Sagrada Familia – but where Teshigahara only has his gifted visual eye and the accompanying Takemitsu music, the BBC doc has a witty tour guide in art critic Robert Hughes, who isn’t beyond questioning the over-the-top religious symbolism in some of Gaudi’s more outlandish designs, most notably the Casa Battlo and it’s Saint George and the Dragon theme. Art lovers and novices alike can appreciate the beauty in Teshigahara’s appreciation of this most unique of artists, and thanks to Criterion’s bountiful two-disc edition, which also pays tribute to Hiroshi’s famous father, Sofu, Japan’s leading sculptor in his day, it’s the closest you’ll get to an introductory architecture history class without actually enrolling.
