:46:03
They made Iife easier.
:46:04
Creativity has bIossomed .
:46:06
You see creativity?
:46:11
DefiniteIy. AII those pIaces, Iike. . . .
:46:12
There's an interesting spIit
between everyday Iife,
:46:15
which is more provinciaI
than metropoIitan ,
:46:17
and the styIe and ambiance
of dinner at the AIcantara
:46:21
or a pIace Iike the Lux,
:46:23
or the KremIin . FabuIous!
:46:25
Much more inventive
than most pIaces in Paris.
:46:28
I don't know Lisbon .
You'd advise me to go?
:46:31
I think it's a marveIous pIace.
:46:33
Life there is stress-free
and pIeasant,
:46:36
but the entertainment
is first cIass.
:46:39
Rather Iike Rome, no?
:46:42
Rome is the exact reverse.
:46:44
It has the cuIturaI poverty
of a provinciaI town ,
:46:46
and aII the aggravation of a big city.
:46:51
-You're exaggerating .
-You don't Iike Rome?
:46:54
Not much , no.
:46:55
-Why not?
-I don't know.
:46:58
My remark was offhand .
:47:00
But whenever I was there,
I feIt uncomfortabIe.
:47:03
-Perhaps it was you .
-No, not reaIIy.
:47:06
It's Iike I said .
:47:08
I found it very aggravating .
:47:10
Cars, horns,
scooters, traffic jams. . . .
:47:14
The smaIIest practicaIities
become exhausting .
:47:18
-And that wind . . . .
-The sirocco.
:47:21
It's infuriating !
:47:22
I didn't take to the peopIe.
:47:24
They're Iess friendIy
than eIsewhere in ItaIy.
:47:28
The women about town are so vuIgar.
The way they waIk!
:47:31
Even their manners are bad .
:47:33
The city itseIf is superb.
:47:35
Its monuments, yes. Its museums
aIways seem to be cIosed .
:47:39
For entertainment and nightIife,
it's poor.
:47:42
Few cinemas. OnIy one arthouse.
:47:45
Not many bars or cIubs.
Not that they're my scene,
:47:48
but my friends there
feeI bored and cut off.
:47:52
True, Paris has more entertainment
but it's improving .
:47:55
More screens are opening .
:47:58
And it's so beautifuI .
I'm happy just waIking .
