In a year that has given us such marvelous animated movies as "Ratatouille" and "Paprika," this vibrant, sly and moving personal odyssey takes pride of place." — Newsweek "While so many films about coming of age involve manufactured dilemmas, here is one about a woman who indeed does come of age, and magnificently." — Roger Ebert "Persepolis, the superb film based on Satrapi's graphic memoirs of the same name, is a riveting odyssey in pictures and words. It's unlike any journal you've read or any animated movie you've seen." — Philadelphia Inquirer Persepolis is the poignant story of a young girl in Iran during the
Islamic Revolution. It is through the eyes of the precocious and
outspoken 9-year-old Marjane that we see a people's hopes dashed as
fundamentalists take power--forcing the veil on women and imprisoning
thousands. Clever and fearless, Marjane outsmarts the "social guardians"
and discovers punk, ABBA, and Iron Maiden. Yet when her uncle is
senselessly executed and as bombs fall around Tehran in the Iran/Iraq
war, the daily fear that permeates life in Iran is palpable. 95 min/
2007-France-USA/ in English/ PG-13

Then She Found MeMay 16th - May 29thRogue Award, Ashland Independent Film Festival Audience Award, Palm Springs International Film Festival "...comes off as a charming and downright delightful spin on the romantic comedy genre. The uniformly strong performances - with Hunt herself particularly good here... it's ultimately difficult to resist the various audience-pleasing attributes that have been hard-wired into Then She Found Me." — David Nusair "Helen Hunt makes an exceptionally deft and self-assured debut as a multi-hyphenate with "Then She Found Me," a smart, subtle and seriously funny dramedy bound to find favor with sophisticated audIiences." — Variety SPECIAL ENGAGEMENT - PLAYING FOR TWO WEEKS |
