Talking about Kitano, he gave a 1-h long masterclass - moderated by Jean-Pierre Limousin - in Paris last week, hopefully it was filmed:<br><a href="http://made-in-asie.blogspot.com/2010/03/kitano-master-class-centre-pompidou.html">http://made-in-asie.blogspot.com/2010/03/kitano-master-class-centre-pompidou.html</a><br>

<div><font face="Arial">Has he really just got the Chevalier des Arts et des

?</font></div>
