    Persepolis

    I recommend it. Not quite as good a recommendation as Magus or Mora could give, but I still recommend it.

    It's a fun film, and I learned a lot about Iran that my ignorant American mind didn't know before.

    Like how they speak French.

    Edit: It got 96% at rottentomatoes.

    I loved it. And I think it was robbed at the Oscars. CG animated films, back the **** OFF.

    But I really loved how it presented the main character as just a regular girl who happened to be raised in Iran. It really made the whole situation with the oppressive fundamentalist regime feel like it mattered to you. I also love that it's not as much a political movie as it is about this one woman's personal journey to find her identity. A truly worthwhile viewing. And just to allay any concerns: this movie is often quite funny and not the downer you'd think a movie about Iran would be.

      Favorite part is a tie between her first punk rock concert and when she decided to wake up out of her depression.

        I really want to see it. I had no idea it even existed until the nominees were announced a month or so ago.

          I saved it to my Netflix queue, so when it hits it'll get to the top of my queue.
