Persepolis Product Placement

[tealin]

To the tune of 'Christmas is Coming':

Satrapi's new movie
Is out on DVD –
Please to watch Persepolis
On your TV.
If you will not buy this movie,
Then renting it will do;
If you will not even rent it then
Shame on you.

Seriously, though, watch it. Even if you don't think you'll like it, give it a try. I thought it was going to be preachy and political or irritatingly sentimental but it's not – it's funny, heartbreaking, fascinating, human, and just generally fantastic. WATCH IT.

Here's a trailer.

Watch iiiiit...

Have you read the graphic novel it was based on? I had to read it for a Comic Lit class in college and though it was a little slow in places, it was just like you describe the film.

I haven't seen the film yet... want to, though.
