Persepolis

September 23rd, 2006

I had no idea a film adaptation of Marjane Satrapi’s Persepolis was in the works. These stills look promising: the artwork sticks fairly closely to Satrapi’s style, but it’s hard to say how good a decision that was without seeing a moving image.

The subject matter - growing up in post-revolutionary Iran - is certainly both interesting and topical, so here’s hoping the film lives up to the source material.

    My initial reaction was to assume you meant a live action version, which I thought would be a terrible idea.

    Seeing that it’s animated, my response, well, maybe okay, then.
