<DIV><FONT face=Arial>'Commandeur', it seems. The Guardian having inflated
it to the senior rank of Chevalier. And is a polka-dotted pomegranate
really the insignia of this order ? Does his latest film explain all,
including the collages ?</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Has he really just got the Chevalier des Arts et des
Lettres ? This isn't a Takeshi gag ? [I've stumbled on a spate of
false award claims this week, only one of which was half Japanese
related]. No, it seems widely reported. So did he give an
acceptance speech à la Venise, saying that we were on the same side in the
war, alongside Maréchal Pétain ?</FONT></DIV>
