"Just Asking: Marjane Satrapi"

about her animated movie 'Persepolis'

This week, Marjane Satrapi's "Persepolis," which shared the jury prize at the Cannes Film Festival, was nominated for a Golden Globe in the category of best foreign-language film -- a surprising honor for an animated film."

The movie is coming out on December 25th in the United States. I watched it a few weeks ago with some of my classmates and friends at a private screening by Sony in Berkeley. The story telling style is pretty impressive. (Read Wall Street Journal's interview with Satrapi here)
