No place like home

Persepolis

Crit

Remarkable animation, at the same time minimalist and richly detailed, and the perfect vehicle for Marjane Satrapi's . . . well, "graphic memoirs," I guess you'd have to call 'em, but could someone come up for a term for grown-ups' comic books that doesn't sound like porn? This will teach Western audiences more than they ever imagined about Iran, and will remind all audiences that even if home is hell, it's still home. The rare film that adds to the literary source--heartbreakingly beautiful. Plus, you've never enjoyed "Eye of the Tiger" as much.
