****** I would trust the Macabe piece more than the other bio but it
doesn't say (or at least i didn't see) when Godard actually did take
Swiss citizenship. He must have done so if his passport is Swiss (and
assuming his statement wasn't some cryptic joke but it does seem pretty
clear and was made in English so there was no translation problem).
The Macabe piece also later mentions Mieville as also being Swiss,
which could merely mean of Swiss background. Hmmmmm.
