Persepolis

If you haven't seen a good movie in a while and are down with being slapped in the face with realness that may not be super familiar to you but that undoubtedly shakes you to your human core, go see Persepolis.

Serious, fun, sentimental, real and cute. And it's a cartoon.

It's been a looooong time since I've watched an animation that was so excellent at delivering a message through it's lines. And we're not talking overly realistic, team of 200 just to make one face muscle move kinda Pixar 3D animation....we're talking by hand...yes I said that. And I don't mean hand on keyboard, I mean hand on pencil then on paper. If you don't believe me, check out the DVD and watch the extras.

Persepolis quietly grew on me and blew a puff of smoke with it's eyes half open right on my face and before I could blink it had taken one of the very coveted top 5 movie spots on my personal list. :)

Go see it, putain!
