And you thought all you could ask me about was books? Wrong! True, books are the way I love a story the best but since we humans, as a species, are addicted to stories and movies are the next best way of storytelling, here were are with some of my favourite movies reviewed only for people like me who just can't resist a good story. Also, if there are movies you want me to review for you, just drop a comment and I will review it as soon as I can. So, sit back, get that pop-corn bowl out and get ready to watch some of the great movies from all around the world!

Persepolis

Director: Marjane Satrapi and Vincent Paronnaud               
File:Persepolis film.jpgRating: 8.5/10

There are so many movies around the world that are based on lives of people in and after a revolution, in and after a war but very very few movies are based on the life of one person and what he or she goes through during war.

Persepolis is one such story, and a true one at that, based on the autobiographical graphic novel of the same name taking us through the Iran-Iraq war, and how the volatile and ever changing conditions of the country can affect a childhood and a life.

Seen from the eyes of young Marjane, the movie brings out emotions of confusion and a constant search for self of a person whose whole world is turned upside down when her country falls into terrible times.


Heart-wrenching, terrifying and yet amazingly engrossing,
Persepolis is an animated movie for the grown-ups, that combines human sensibilities with the art of cartoons.
