Persepolis

[mojorisin]

I just saw Persepolis, an animated coming-of-age film of an Iranian girl growing up through the tumultuous 80's/early 90's. If you haven't heard of it yet, you should definitely check it out! Like, for serious for serious. It's pretty much impossible to not somehow empathize with Marjane's story. I thought that pretty much everything about the film was spot on, down to the "simple" animation and the rather straightforward storyline.

I think it's pretty telling that her story was so much better nuanced than similar coming-of-age stories coming out of hollywood. (I personally found Juno forced and simplistic, albeit "cute".)

Anyone else get a chance to see the film?

Haven't seen it but coincidentally enough the trailer ran when we saw Juno Sat and it went on the list of things to see.

This is the reason I check out this forum. Will definitely look for it.

I downloaded it. I am going back to see it in a theater. Nuff said.
