Gaudi. Spirit of Barcelona
Description
Antoni Gaudi was the enfant terrible of Catalan architecture-a genius whose Gothic inspiration and daring taste transformed Barcelona from a city evolving layer by layer and style by style from an ancient past into a dramatic statement of timeless individuality. Gaudi's architectural creations-park benches, buildings, the Cathedral-are relatively few in number but so powerful that they dominate the vistas and the mood of the city. Filmmaker Luis Bunuel imbues this program with the strange, intense, miraculous spirit of Gaudi as he covers both the scope and the individual detail of his architectural creations.
