| | | Marjane Satrapi - Persepolis So I'm looking forward to seeing the film ( love the way it's all pencil and ink animation with no CGI) but I want to read the graphic novels Persepolis I and II first because it's been aaaages since I've read a good comic and Satrapi's looks very interesting.
Has anyone read it? If so, what did you think of it? would you recommend?
And does anyone know where I can get an English version?
Persepolis is a French-language autobiographical graphic novel by Marjane Satrapi depicting her childhood in Iran after the revolution. The title is a reference to the historical town of Persepolis.  |

Some films are dubbed with the same dedication as choosing the right voice for the original cut. I'd be wary of shitty dubs but when it boils down to it I'd say they're preferable for animation because subtitles distract you from the visualisation (which is what's fundamentally important in animation).
And ooooh the stills look so good! Loving the how the "elders" are depicted all sinister and imposing in their burqas in contrast to the child.
And thanks everyone for your opinions. |

| | | I remember reading those graphic novels as a freshman and being really excited about seeing drawings and words together. Translations are readibly available. I say that because an ex-boyfriend bought me Persepolis two during a trip to London.
The movie was rather good, but I am not sure if it enhanced my understanding of the story. It almost made me wonder why it was in movie form. I did get the feeling that it was cut short, but that was all she had written of her young life, so I understood it. However, with movies you tend to expect an ending of some sort. I also saw it with subtitles and I don't think I was bothered by them at all. I kind of loved hearing the French.
