...trash on the Cote d'Azur, with two quirky North American directors offering analyses of death-love in the cult of showbiz. Today's prestige items: Gus Van Sant's Last Days, an imagining of the death of Nirvana front man Kurt Cobain, and Where the Truth Lies, Atom Egoyan's film of a murder case involving a comedy duo not unlike Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis. Because Van Sant, from the U.S., and Egoyan, the Canadian, are revered for their elaborate, eccentric visions, we figured we would not get simple tabloid tattle.

Yesterday’s chicken appears in the chow mein or fajitas...

The stereotypical cutter is a girl in her young teens suffering from discord at home and doing poorly at school, and there is some truth to that cliché. "Girls have a more conflicted relationship with their bodies," says Wendy Lader, clinical director of Self Abuse Finally Ends, a treatment program in Naperville, Ill. "They go after it and hurt it when they're angry." While such traumas as sexual abuse don't always precede cutting, they often do appear to be risk factors...
