I am glad Godard came out with a statement. Some years ago, at a festival, I seem to remember a press conference or some kind of session with Godard (those sessions, when you can corner the man, can be a howl, what with JLG's paradoxes). I think that the question re: his nationality came up and that JLG more or less evaded it (or made a joke) --and that when,later, some of us were chatting, the impression was that his nationality was French rather than Swiss. Be it as it may, that was in another country, and besides, the wench is dead. edwin jahiel ---- To signoff SCREEN-L, e-mail [log in to unmask] and put SIGNOFF SCREEN-L in the message. Problems?
