As a much, much younger
man living in New York,

00:00:12.280 --> 00:00:13.570 align:middle line:90%
I worked for a magazine.

00:00:13.570 --> 00:00:17.890 align:middle line:84%
And the editor assigned me
to go to the Lincoln Center,

00:00:17.890 --> 00:00:21.550 align:middle line:84%
I think it was, and to
spend all day with the films

00:00:21.550 --> 00:00:24.520 align:middle line:90%
of Michelangelo Antonioni.

00:00:24.520 --> 00:00:28.270 align:middle line:84%
And he wanted me to write
a very big essay about it.

00:00:28.270 --> 00:00:29.590 align:middle line:90%
Anyway, I never did that.

00:00:29.590 --> 00:00:31.870 align:middle line:84%
But I finally got around
to writing about it

00:00:31.870 --> 00:00:36.670 align:middle line:84%
and it's called Meditation
On The Italian Cinema.

00:00:36.670 --> 00:00:40.510 align:middle line:90%
L'Avventura was too long for me.

00:00:40.510 --> 00:00:44.200 align:middle line:90%
What do I want with eternity.

00:00:44.200 --> 00:00:48.450 align:middle line:90%
