:32:01
He studied his Tintoretto book.
:32:02
I told him her likes, her
dislikes, her deepest feelings...
:32:06
everything from her passion for
Bora-Bora and Mahlers 4th...
:32:10
to her favourite flower,
the African Daisy.
:32:12
I mean, everything.
:32:14
When he went to the
museum that day...
:32:16
he couldve given a
course on the subject.
:32:20
Hello again.
:32:22
Goodness!
:32:23
You lived. How are you?
I was concerned.
:32:26
No, no, I was fine.
I went back to the hotel and...
:32:30
had the concierge oil my
pacemaker and, you know, I...
:32:34
Incidentally, my
names Joe Berlin.
:32:36
Vonnie Sydell.
:32:37
A funny coincidence. I see
you here, two New Yorkers...
:32:41
jogging in Venice and we
bump into each other.
:32:44
Howd you know
I was a New Yorker?
:32:45
No, I didnt.
I just assumed...
:32:48
But youre completely correct
to ask that question.
:32:52
Its a good question. You
shouldnt be ashamed of it.
:32:55
I live on 84th and Riverside.
Where in New York do you live?
:32:58
In Paris. I was a New Yorker
but I settled in Paris.
: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.
