Top Five Reasons Everyone Should See Persepolis
Check out the trailer here.
1. Somehow graphic novels tend to be—how can we put this politely?—altered by the Hollywood Machine. Diluted, maybe. One could say butchered, in some cases. Persepolis was written and directed by the author of the graphic novels, Marjane Satrapi.
2. There might be a better time for the American people to brush up on their Iranian history and culture, but I’m not sure when. Not to, you know, give anything away for the future. I’m just saying.
3. Persepolis is a graphic novel for people who don’t like graphic novels: not a super-power, sidekick, or busty heroine in sight. Instead, we get an outspoken adolescent in 1979 Tehran and her family and friends. That doesn’t sound so bad, does it? Try it! You’ll like it! Even Barnes & Noble shelves it under Biography. With pictures!
4. Catherine Deneuve and Chiara Mastroianni as Marjane and Mrs. Satrapi
5. It won the Jury Prize at Cannes last year, and most of Europe’s already seen it. Thousands of Belgians can’t be wrong!
