...called to clean up. The body of the woman was carried out in a military blanket, she said. There were acid burns on her left shoulder and the left side of her face. The maid found bloodstains on Uday's mattress and clumps of black hair and peeled flesh in the bedroom. A guard told her, "Don't say anything about what you see, or you and your family will be finished...

This animated feature, about an old woman who battles the French Mafia to retrieve her kidnapped godson, possessed what other Cannes entries lacked: a vivid visual imagination, a generous wit, an understanding...
...civet cat, a nocturnal mammal similar to the weasel, is served in southern China in a variety of ways: roasted whole, braised in brown sauce or standing in for tiger flesh in the classic Dragon, Tiger and Phoenix Soup. (The dragon is snake meat, the phoenix ordinary chicken.) Some diners believe cooked civet has medicinal properties, such as a warming effect during the winter months...
