Persepolis

  For those who are intrigued by foreign  films, cartoons, French, or politics, this movie and series of books is for you. The graphic novel, Persepolis, is the creation for the cartoon-movie in which Marjane faces hardships living in Iran through the 1970's and her years to come as politics and war surround her. The movie is a fascinating film around the true story within the novel. I, personally love both the read and the watching of Persepolis.
                                                     

Side effects may include:
crying, laughing, emotional perioding, feminism, hardcore French-speaking, bra-stuffing, and intense smelling of Jasmine.

Enjoy.
