Persepolis, by Marjane Satrapi, is one of my favourite graphic novels. I love her art and all the strong, and dynamic, female characters. This book is available at almost 30 public libraries (and at some academic libraries too)–so if you haven’t read it, it shouldn’t be that hard to get your hands on a copy.
Persepolis the movie (erm…animated film if you prefer won the Prize of the Jury at the Cannes Film Festival 2007. I’m loving the song.
For anyone interested, Persepolis the movie will be screened at the Vancouver International Film Festival. Check out http://www.viff.org/filmsindex.html for more information. You will need to search by film title to get to the showtime and screening location information.
wow! thanks! that’s fantastic–i just got my ticket. i keep singing the Persepolis theme version of Eye of the Tiger–hopefully it’ll work it’s way out of my system.
