In this special Link TV interview, "Persepolis" filmmaker Marjane Satrapi discusses how she came to create first an autobiographical graphic novel, then an Academy Award-nominated film about her experiences as an Iranian, both in her home country and as an exile in Europe.nClips from the film demonstrate Satrapi's moving use of humor and passion to tell the story of an Iran caught between the desire for independence and the strict Islamic state that emerged after the 1979 revolution. Satrapi's account gives a unique perspective on Iranian life behind closed doors, where the love of pop music and democracy is at odds with a restricted lifestyle. Through her life story she reveals the similarities between children and adults that always exist, even across dogmatic national borders.nExcerpts from the novel "Persepolis" appear courtesy of Pantheon.n"Persepolis" is in U.S. theaters January 2008.

I (Adam) just meant that he belonged in that group with those other "flashy" directors. - "Winter Light's" predecessor in the trilogy mentioned is "Through a Glass Darkly" not "Through THE Glass Darkly." - Next week's Top 5 is actually going to be London Movies, and not Movies by Playwrights turned Directors, which was great in theory but impossible in practice.

Persépolis es una novela gráfica escrita e ilustrada en forma autobiográfica por la autora iraní Marjane Satrapi. Se divide en cuatro tomos, aunque también ha sido publicado un volumen integral que contiene los cuatro libros. La histora es autobiográfica y narra la vida de la autora, desde su infancia en Teherán, donde vivirá una guerra que acabará en su exilio. El cómic comienza en 1979, cuando Marjane Satrapi tiene tan sólo nueve años y comienza a sufrir las consecuencias de la Revolución islámica. En Francia los cuatro álbumes de Persépolis fueron publicados entre noviembre de 2000 y septiembre de 2003 por L'Association, editorial independiente (aunque ya desaparecida como tal), y desde entonces se ha llevado varios premios de la crítica y dos premios en Angoulême al autor revelación y al mejor guión. Puede que Satrapi no sea un Breccia o un Boucq, pero lo importante no es tanto la parte gráfica como la historia que en ella se narra y el punto de vista de la autora. Precisamente hace poco se estrenó en España la película de animación basada en los dos primeros tomos de esta novela gráfica. La película fue presentada en Mayo de 2007 en el festival de Cannes, algo que fué muy criticado por el gobierno iraní. La película es un trabajo enteramente en blanco y negro, codirigido y coescrito entre la autora y Vincent Paronnaud. Author: Hertlings Keywords: Marjane Satrapi Added: January 10, 2008
