How can a documentary about Sagrada Familia be THIS boring?!
2 June 2015
I love Sagrada Familia and felt totally overwhelmed when I toured this gorgeous church several years ago. Because it is such a special and breathtaking place, I was excited when I saw this documentary on Netflix. However, I was shocked because although this is a wonder of the modern world, the filmmakers managed to make it completely boring and awful. The biggest problem in the English language version is that the narrator's voice is sleep-inducing. It's really hard to grasp any sense of wonder or majesty when it sounds like Ben Stein is narrating a documentary about the history of calligraphy!! Also, so much of the film is just long and dull. Surely there is a better documentary about Sagrada Familiar!! My advice is seek that out or, better yet, go to Barcelona (if possible) and see it yourself. But, most importantly, skip this tedious film.
