Persepolis

Persepolis is yet another film that drags the audience through 13+ years of someone's life. That said, it is done in funny and interesting ways to the tune of some of the most interesting animation that I have seen.

The animation really is central to this film. The artwork depends on black to create the imagery and it is often amazingly creative or disturbing such as when it portrays people being blown to bits. This is not your mother's disney cartoon; be prepared to see things expressed that you thought impossible in a feature that happens to be animated.
