PERSEPOLIS: The graphic novel that’s a movie.

Thursday, January 3rd, 2008





I am dying to see this film. The book was one of the best examples of everything a graphic novel ought to be. The art really tells the story in this one and her symbolism goes way, way beyond the mere depiction of events. If you’ve never read a graphic novel but have some curiosity about this vibrant form, I recommend watching one in PERSEPOLIS and then maybe reading it. Word is, it’s a great experience: http://pwbeat.publishersweekly.com/…s-popular/

    Yeah, I loved that book. I was surprised to see that the movie is in French. Because didn’t she grow up speaking Persian, then move to Amsterdam for college?
