Persepolis Teaser Trailer

Matt Forsythe | May 17th, 2007

If you can ignore the music, this looks very promising. Based on the best-selling graphic novels by Marjane Satrapi and voice acted by Catherine Deneuve and Chiara Mastroianni, the film premieres at Cannes this week.

More commentary from Heidi at The Beat.

    I'm so excited!
  • I loved Persepolis! I hope it comes out in the US or something with subtitles...
  • Love the grayscale. I can't wait to see the whole movie!
  • s.w.e.e.t. i loved the »punk is not ded«-thing, it's so true! like »no somking« signs. ^__^
  • Thanks gondocs! The sequence with the punk concert is hilarious :D
  • What's wrong with the music?
  • Yeah, I personally didn't have a problem with what was playing in the trailer. There are a lot of movies/trailers with soundtracks that irritate me way more than that. But maybe that's me.

    Anyway, I haven't seen much besides brief snippets of the actual Persepolis comics, but what I saw looked neat. I really, really like the look of this film, though. I love how they've adapted the artist's inking style to animated form. I would very much like to see this.

  • thanks for the löink. i love the comic and can´t wait for the movie.
  • I was actually a bit shocked. I'd picked up the books without any knowledge of them, just right off the shelf. I had no idea it was originally in French. When I heard them speaking in the trailer I though, "Wait a second. Why French and not Persian?"

    *type type type*

    Oh. Well what do you know.
  • dying to watch this one!

    If that actually IS Iron Maiden (I'm not familiar with much of their stuff) than it's pretty fitting. At least if you've read the novel.

    As for why it's in french, Marjane Satrapi was educated in a French school as opposed to Persian and currently lives in France. Beyond that it's probably matter of convenience.
