As a much, much younger man living in New York,
I worked for a magazine.
And the editor assigned me to go to the Lincoln Center,
I think it was, and to spend all day with the films
of Michelangelo Antonioni.
And he wanted me to write a very big essay about it.
Anyway, I never did that.
But I finally got around to writing about it
and it's called Meditation On The Italian Cinema.
L'Avventura was too long for me.
What do I want with eternity.
