Persepolis | Academy Award Nominee for Best Animated Feature
Accolades continue to pile up for PERSEPOLIS, as the critically-acclaimed film followed up its Golden Globe nomination for Best Foreign Language Film with an Oscar nod for Best Animated Feature. And as we reported back in September, it was a big winner at last year's Cannes Film Festival where it claimed the coveted Jury Award.
Adapted from Marjane Satrapi's autobiographical graphic novel of the same name, Persepolis chronicles her childhood in Iran during the Islamic Revolution, as well as the self-imposed exile to Austria and France that follows. (Think Maus, except it's not about the Holocaust and there are no anthropomorphic mice. And in French.) The film features the voices of Catherine Deneuve and her real-life daughter, Chiara Mastroianni.
Persepolis is now playing in select cities; Vancouverites can head over to Tinseltown on W. Pender and Abbott.
