:33:02
But I come back to New York
all the time. I love it there.
:33:06
What brings you here?
:33:08
I wouldnt come to Venice
without checking out the Tintorettos.
:33:12
Because hes my favourite
master in the world.
:33:15
I just adore his work.
Im crazy about it.
:33:18
He was a deep genius.
:33:19
The deepest.
:33:21
The rapidity of
his brush strokes...
:33:24
Chiaroscuro...
:33:26
Outbursts of colour...
:33:28
His capacity for
controlled gesture...
:33:31
Born in 1519, only to
die again in 1594...
:33:35
but thats the way it
happens to most of us.
:33:38
You have a real appreciation
of his work.
:33:41
How could I not appreciate a
man who was short in stature...
:33:45
but with a proud
and obstinate nature...
:33:48
who painted outside the...
:33:50
the academic conventions
of 16th century Venice?
:33:55
What do you do?
:33:57
Call me Joe.
:33:58
Im a writer.
A novelist, mostly.
:34:01
Joe Berlin...
:34:02
I saw one of your books.
:34:04
I remember it had
a very sexy cover.
:34:07
It was at the stalls
on 5th Avenue, the 99 cent bin.
:34:11
You know, probably the
get-acquainted price.
:34:14
Theyll do that.
:34:15
In the United States Im
considered controversial...
:34:18
but in Paris, where they
have an ear for literature...
:34:22
they were quick to
recognise the genius of...
:34:24
Poe and Faulkner
and myself.
:34:28
Basically, you see,
Im a simple guy.
:34:31
My idea is just to live
in Paris and maybe...
:34:34
you know, fall in love and...
:34:37
take walks...
:34:39
in the rain and...
:34:41
Listen to music like...
:34:43
particularly maybe
Mahlers 4th.
:34:48
This could be me talking.
:34:49
Could it?
:34:50
Mahlers 4th, no question.
:34:53
See, Im not a...
:34:55
what youd call
a technology guy.
:34:58
I hate it.
:34:59
I know, I can tell.
