In the wake of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's presidential confirmation, I wanted to post the Marjane Satrapi inspired Persepolis 2.0 that has been circulating around the internet since Iran's supreme leader declared Ahmadinejad the victor last month.
Satrapi gained worldwide notoriety for her graphic novel Perspolis, which was later adapted into an animated film of the same name. The novel is an autobiographical tale of a young Satrapi that is set against the events leading up to and during the Iranian Revolution of 1979. I have only seen the movie and what I thought would be a boring, black and white historical reprise, turned out to be an amazing, colorful tale of the Irani youth. So, if you haven't already, be sure and check it out. (If you are a Netflix member, you can watch it, Instantly).
