Antonio Gaudí by
Hiroshi Teshigahara(

)
2 editions published between 1984 and 2008 in Japanese and held by 441 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"Everything comes from the great book of Nature; human attainments are an already printed book."--Gaudi, end title screen. The Catalan architect, ceramist, and sculptor united Neo-Gothic mysticism and grandeur with Art Nouveau lines, combined with a surreal apprehension of the power of nature. Less of a documentary than a tribute, Teshigahara's film becomes a place to get lost, a radically hypnotic travelogue that's completely symbiotic with its subject. Almost wordless, this visual rhapsody is accompanied by music from composer Toru Takemitsu, whose free-floating East-meets-West impressionism and organic flow mimics the sprouting curvilinear shapes of Gaudi's buildings

This film centers on the staggering true-life dementia of events in the 17th-century French city of Loudun. After Father Urbain Grandier, a priest who submitted to his own passions is accused of lewdness and sorcery by a sexually repressed nun, a mass exorcism is ordered for him and for an allegedly demon-possessed convent. This version restores all of the cut footage that was removed when the film was released including the never before seen "rape of Christ" sequence
