I just wanted to say that the Persepolis website (for the movie) is a beautiful affair. My screenshot above does it no justice at all, so please visit the site and judge for yourself.

Yesterday I blogged about this poster for Marjane Satrapi’s Persepolis film. Today somebody sent me the German version of that self-same poster (see also here). I hope I’m not getting paranoid here (or not more paranoid than would reasonably be good for me), but is it a coincidence that the main character on this poster is smoking, whereas the woman on the American (or international, whatever) one is not ?

This is the official poster for the US release of Marjane Satrapi’s feature animation film “Persepolis“. I like it - it really reflects the mood of the book. I hope the film does too.

This is a repost from the Ephemerist Yahoo Group. I’m a little short on new material, so I decided to focus on some online features that are still available, but may have faded a little.

This is a report on a reading and signing session by Marjane Satrapi, from Bookslut. I like the way Satrapi’s style is being emulated here.

In 2005, the French cartoonist Marjane Satrapi was invited to speak to the cadets at West Point (where “Persepolis”, her account of her life in Iran later was put on the required reading list). This strip, from the New York Times, tells of how she experienced that strange event.
