...frog legs for $3-$5 per plate. Cirebon's other treasures can be found in a pair of palaces built centuries ago by its Sultans. These are heaped with kitsch: French chandeliers, Javanese spears and a bizarre chariot comprising the body of an elephant, the head of a dragon, flapping wings and radial tires. The dusty exhibits can be comical, but in little-visited Cirebon, the tourist must be alert to art all around.

Next up, Watson will produce a film she co-wrote with her husband, screenwriter Jack Waters. At the moment, she's back home in London, appearing in the Donmar Warehouse productions of Shakespeare's Twelfth Night and Chekhov's Uncle Vanya. "After Red Dragon, the biggest, most Hollywood-est movie I've ever been in, this opportunity came up," she says. "To be able to play Viola and Sonya in the same breath--it's good." Best of all, she doesn't have to share a dressing room with a cannibal. --By Jess Cagle
