[…] I am dying to see this film. The book was one of the best examples of everything a graphic novel ought to be. The art really tells the story in this one and her symbolism goes way, way beyond the mere depiction of events. If you’ve never read a graphic novel but have some curiosity about this vibrant form, I recommend watching one in PERSEPOLIS and then maybe reading it. Word is, it’s a great experience: http://pwbeat.publishersweekly.com/…s-popular/Mobile post sent by BradyDale using Utterz. Replies. mp3 Bookmark to: Posted in political || […]

Man, do I want to see this! The art in this book rocked my socks all the way through. why the heck don’t I own a copy, come to think of it? Madness. It’s not showing in Philadelphia. Why oh why? I’ve been in NYC so much lately! I should have gone. Dang me.
It’s such great work. So Good!
Hey, speaking of movies, Yahoo! has this list up. I’m embarassed by how excited it makes me. Nothing you haven’t posted about, Beat, but soooooooo good to see it in one big gasp!

A lovely movie! And the book is an international bestseller. I wish comics creators did more non-superhero stuff like this. Great blog, by the way.

Happy New Year!

Really really loved it!

If it’s playing in a city near you, make the effort. It’s so worth it.

Loved the book, looking forward to seeing the movie. People like Ms. Satrapi are inspiring. Doesn’t hurt that she’s also so photogenic.
