This is what happens when you look.

Just a quickie recommendation today. You know the architect Antonio Gaudí, of course. You may also know the film director Hiroshi Teshigahara, director of one of my all-time favorite films, Woman in the Dunes. The score, one of the elements of that film that made it such an obsession for me, was done by Mr. Toru Takemitsu, who probably did the score for about a third of the classic Japanese films that have changed your entire view of what music can achieve in conjunction with film.

These three pieces gather in the essentially wordless documentary shown here chronicling the work and detail of Mr. Gaudí.

Not a movie, or even what we normally think of today as a documentary, Teshigahara's footage and Takemitsu's score capture, move within, reside upon, caress, and meditate upon Gaudí's structures and surfaces. They're utterly unconcerned with telling you what they think. It comes together more as a conversation between artists of the highest caliber, each at the absolute pinnacle of their respective abilities.

Why - seriously - why am I just, just, just discovering UBUWEB now?
