Persepolis (based on Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi)
Unlike many autobiographical tales, Marjane Satrapi’s wonderful graphic memoir about coming of age as a progressive girl in Iran managed to wholeheartedly maintain its brilliance on the big screen. While the graphic form undoubtedly made it easier on the filmmakers — they had gorgeous art direction built right in — the movie was true to the book, entertaining to the last, and evocative without being preachy. We recommend both formats highly.
Rewatching Blade Runner for the second time this week. Final cut version, of course.
