"Sony will bow the Oscar nominated animated film Persepolis on DVD and Blu-ray on 6/24. Extras will include audio commentary with writer/director Marjane Satrapi and co-director Vincent Paronnaud, multiple featurettes, graphic novel to film comparisons with commentary, the Cannes Festival Q&A session with the filmmakers and more."

Y'all can have this film. In my opinion, it's a film for the Emo and Goth set. Not my cup of tea.

Thought-provoking? Not so much.
If anything, the film is an edited version of the graphic novel. The movie skips over the fact that the protagonist got kicked out of an apartment in Vienna for dealing drugs! Gee, they didn't tell you that part now, did they?
How's that for your heroine?
While I didn't need to know that Iran had a screwed-up society, the degree to which it was worse than the Shah's era was eye-opening.
Still wouldn't recommend buying this film. Rental maybe, buy no.
