This is one of several movies I've ordered from Amazon over the last couple months. About a girl from Iran growing up during the revolution, then getting a visa and moving to Europe, and then moving back to Iran. I've watched it once in the original French with English subtitles. I'll add a "review" after I watch it again in English. My first impression is that Persepolis is certainly like no other story told through animation that I've ever seen. In fact, it's like no other animation I've ever seen. Like a two dimensional puppet show almost, but more than that. The amount of emotional energy that is harnessed is what is most suprising for me through this common artistic medium made uncommon.
