I've been a fan of Persepolis, Volumes 1 and 2, two graphic autobiographies (normally they say graphic novels, but if you don't know, that means comics) written by a woman who came of age during the Iranian Revolution and now lives and works in France. They've now been turned into an animated film, co-directed by the books' author, and this review from Salon suggests the movie exceeds the writer's expectations. I'll be looking for it.
