Persepolis

As per my usual Thursday night, I just got back from the MUN cinema series with my dad. This weeks movie was Persepolis, a French animated movie based on the 2-volume graphic novels by Marjane Satrapi. It is autobiographical, starting in 1978 and the Islamic revolution that changed her country. Coming out I thought it was an interesting companion to go with Veil of Roses. This goes more into the revolution and sheds some light on why the mother may have wanted to return to Iran from the United States. If you have a chance go see this film or sent it, it is well worth your time.
