The Stranger Suggests
Film
'Persepolis'
Drawn in big swaths of black and white and embellished with thin curls of cigarette smoke and cascades of jasmine flowers, Persepolis is a gorgeous film. But the best surprise if you've read Marjane Satrapi's graphic novel is the blood-stirring evocation of actual historical revolution and teenage rebellion, shown side by side, without diminishing either. (See movie times.)

This is a wonderful film. If you like graphic novels, music, or want to know more about what it's like to be Iranian and a girl, this is highly recommended!
screw Juno, this was hands down the best "young girl coming of age" movie of the year.
Did somebody add lines to the couch with MSPaint?
The black and white imagery is simple, elegant, and effective. This film has "heart."
