A unique view on the Cathedral of Saint Peter of Beauvais (also known as Beauvais Cathedral), one of the largest constructions in Europe and
initially designed to be the biggest cathedral of the continent but after a series of events, crisis and disasters it never got finished, if we consider
the original plan that dates back to 1225 (consecrated in 1272).
It was an impressive view from its facades, exteriors and interiors with many Ghotic art, with its gigantic porthics and navels, and as the images flow we have the great music by Philip Glass, a track taken from his album "Glassworks" which makes a great combination with the cathedral. Don't particularly find as having a beautiful exterior, it's almost a poor version of Notre Dame that moves all the way to the skies rather than expanding on the sides; but it's interior with many shades of blue, the skylight hitting everything in a magnificent manner feels as special as a movie set - not sure if it was ever for a film, but it should. It's haunting and beautiful all at once.
No voice-overs to present about its story, there's only a handful of titles at the documentary bookends which creates more mystery and fascination on viewers in researching to know more. Fans of architecture and history will have a delighful time with this piece. 8/10.
