Apparently Persepolis, the animated movie adapted from Marjane Satrapi's comic, just got released in the US. So in case you wonder, yes, it is exactly as awesome as it looks like. Or more. And if you never heard of it, it's absolutly fucking awesome. It's an autobiographic story about a young Iranian girl growing up through the Iranian revolution. It's one terribly kick ass female character, and her grand mother also gets a palm of pure awesomeness. It's funny, uplifting, sad, humane and plenty of other good thing, and also gorgeously animated despite being mostly in black & white.

Run, do not walk, to see it.

That's all.

I've no idea if it's released in Argentina... okay I just checked and the imdb says January 31th. I don't know how well served your city might be of course, but heh, worst case scenario you can find it on the net or order a DVD some time later. ^^

My city has... several cinemas but they're all owned by the same guy and they're famous because movies stay on for a week and then PUFF!

I still need to finish reading the books.

ZOMG yes! I was fangirling that movie since I saw it on a festival. It was... words fail me. Not to mention the comics were sold out in all the bookstores the very next day, ie, just when I wanted to buy them :-) Marjane Satrapi is one kickass lady. I did notice another little comic by her, about sex life in Iran. :-) Leafing through it, there was talk of a woman who had three children yet she'd never seen a penis - her kids were all girls. :-) Now I'm sorry I didn't buy it...
