I had the great pleasure of watching a brilliant movie last night. Persepolis presents a deeply personal coming-of-age tale about finding one's place in the world. Based on her bestselling graphic novel, Marjane Satrapi teamed up with underground comic book artist Vincent Paronnaud to co-direct this animated big screen adaptation. Marjane is an innocent nine-year-old living in Iran in the 80's, who finds comfort in music by artists as diverse as ABBA and Iron Maiden. It's amazing to see what people will fight to cling onto in the midst of an oppressive regime, a revolution, and a war. I can promise you will be happy that you watched this movie.
