Persepolis--I so want to see this

[umsami]

I absolutely LOVED both of Marjane's Persepolis books... and I so hope I can somehow find a way to make it to the movie. I read another review from Movie Mom on BeliefNet that said it was fabulous as well.. and find for kids of about 6 and up.

I want Persepolis to win the animated Oscar. I want it to win so badly because it's below the radar and something different over the typical animation film.

I LOVED LOVED LOVED this movie.

It's very close to the books, which are so darn good!

BTW, there are four volumes in the Persepolis series. Or maybe only two have been translated into English so far? Not sure. In any case, I highly, highly recommend this movie.

I loved the Persepolis books too, and Embroideries. Haven't read Chicken With Plums yet. I think I like them so much because I spent a few years of my childhood in Iran. Can't wait to see the movie.

This is so funny - DF just brought the first book home for me today! I have to read it for a women's studies class I'm taking. I'm looking forward to reading it.
