Persepolis

Star Clipper was the official sponsor of Persepolis when it screened at the St. Louis International Film Festival. Unfortunately, I missed the one night screening but the film will be back in St. Louis early this year, and from how good the trailer looks I will definitely be seeing it.

Telling the story of 9-year-old Marjane and her struggles growing up in Iran during the Islamic Revolution, the film is based on the graphic novel by Marjane Satrapi. The Complete Persepolis softcover is currently available at Star Clipper, so if you would like to read the source material before the you see the film do it soon.

Check the official Persepolis movie site for the brilliant trailer.
