Finally saw PERSEPOLIS, the animated film, based on the autobiographic graphic novel, about a girl growing up in Iran during war and revolution, and her time as a young woman in Europe. It's a great film, compositionally beautiful, ringing of tr...uth. It's especially striking to see it now in the wake of the stolen election in Iran and the struggle against the present dictatorship. It makes me feel militant about opposing fundamentalist Islam.
This film is not just grim, it's amusing too.
