Persepolis

" I cheated in the final of my metaphysics examination: I looked into the soul of the boy sitting next to me."  Woody Allen

I truly believe that books are good for the soul. And it certainly is the case with 'Persepolis', the graphic novel of Marjane Satrapi. She tells a really powerful story of what it was like from a child's perspective to grow up in Iran during the Islamic Revolution and the war with Iraq. At times it is very funny, but also very sad what makes it even more heartwarming and touches one's soul. I just finished the comic book and now I would like to see it on the big screen. It must be refreshing to see a 2D animated movie in the midst of all the CGI animated and special effects movies.
