The Complete Persepolis: Now a Major Motion Picture
This is an excellent movie. I was moved and amused. I laughed and I cried. I actually bought copies for all my friends. I was so impressed I bought the graphic novel by Marjane Satrapi which was also excellent. Thank you Marjane.
Rating:
- Good for mainstream and comic veterans alike
Persepolis as a whole is part of a not-so-new wave of comics that bring true, accessible life stories into the format of comics/sequential art. It seems that now, when I talk to "serious literature" people about comics, they immediately mention Persepolis (just had a movie out) and Art Spiegleman's Maus (done in the 80's with no movie likely to ever come out. I'm still waiting for mention of Optic Nerve and it looks like following this summer's Dark Knight movie, a lot more people will be watching ... Read More
Rating: - A wonderful book about angst in Iran.
What a fantastic graphic novel! If you normally don't read graphic novels (or comic books), don't be afraid, the pictures won't hurt you and the stories are only enhanced by this format. Buy the box set because the first book will only leave you wanting more.
The books are composed of short stories of events in the author's life. Some of them seem really simple, but they all have an underlying message. It may be simply pointing out the joy of moment's of rebellion (getting an Iron Maiden ... Read More
Rating: - Brilliant and moving work!
I loved every minute reading this book. Being a comic or graphic novel, whichever one prefers, I was both invested in the life of Marjane Satrapi as well as the illustrations. The drawings really brought the whole story to life with her incredible enthusiasm of how the expressions on the faces really matched what was being said. The story of her life is so compellingly told that one is caught up in her passions and pains.
I just loved it! I laughed with her. I cried with her. I cheered her on! ... Read More
Rating: - Persepolis 1 & 2
In Persepolis, Marjane Satrapi tells a story in words and pictures of her life in Iran. The first book covers Satrapi's life from early childhood, until 14, when she leaves to study in Austria, and the second book covers her time in Europe, and her return to life in Iran up to her late 20s. This period covers the last years of the Shah, the revolution that overthrew him, the consolidation of the Islamic Republic, the war with Iraq, and through to the present. A tumultuous time indeed.
