Stefan Haupt's 'biography' of Barcelona's Sagrada Familia is handsome yet bland.

Directed by Switzerland's Stefan Haupt in a deliberate, unforced manner, "Sagrada: The Mystery of Creation" takes a satisfying three-pronged approach to this unique structure: visual, historical and reportorial.

Zurich-born Stefan Haupt, however, interrupts his rapturous tour of this basilica with lackluster interviews.

3.5/5

It would be hard to make the Sagrada Familia look prosaic, but Mystery of Creation finds particularly cinematic angles for some truly dramatic visual compositions.

Fascinating. Anyone with an interest in architecture, history or religion/spirituality will find much to appreciate.

This documentary is a fascinating look at the Basílica i Temple Expiatori de la Sagrada Família (Basilica and Expiatory Temple of the Holy Family), probably the most well-known of Antoni Gaudí's works. Not only does the writer/director Stefan Haupt interview the current chief architect Jordi Bonet y Armengol, but the foreman Jaume Torreguitart and sculptor Etsuro Sotoo, giving a much more intimate portrait of this multifaceted, multidimensional work.

Even though sounding a bit pretentious & loose-blending in materials, still good to learn more about this superlative craftsmanship.
