movie recommendation

Persepolis is an adaption of a graphic novel about the accounts of a young girl growing up in Iran after the revolution. I loved the film and highly recommend it. The animation style used is mesmerizing and the characters are all enchanting in their own way, especially her grandmother. It really makes you wonder what you would do is faced with a similar event. Would you stand up and risk death, follow the crowd and wait it out or remove yourself completely thereby denying where you came from? Food for thought…but definitely try and track this film down.
