Persepolis trailer

The trailer for the film adaptation of Marjane Satrapi’s Persepolis demonstrates that the film-makers have stuck pretty closely to both the style and the content of Satrapi’s graphic novels. (No doubt it helped that Satrapi was co-director of the film.)

More importantly, it appears to be a successful transfer: the film apparently retains both the whimsical touches (like young Marjane’s conversation with God) and the serious side of Satrapi’s story of a little girl coming of age in Iran at the time of the revolution. I’d like to hear a trailer using the English language soundtrack, but what I’ve seen in the trailer looks promising.
