Recently I saw the movie Persepolis. I had recently read the graphic novel. The movie is really beautiful. Originally written by Marjane Satrapi, and directed by Marjane Satrapi and Vincent Paronnaud, it is now out in theaters. In Boston area, you can see it at the Kendall Square Cinema, or West Newton Cinema.
Originally a graphic novel, it is in two parts. I highly recommend you read the graphic novels as well, because there is some beautiful artwork, and pieces from the novels that aren't in the movie.
