I have only begun to read these 2 volumes of hers, but I can already tell how great they are. :)

Is this Satrapi saying she never envisioned her work as an animated film quoted out of context

I think this is the correct interpretation. Satrapi does not speak fluent English and this may have been translated from the French as well. Satrapi is very down to earth, which is partly why she chose to tell her story in humble comic form.

I really want to see this as well. The book was great and the cartoon looks very true to it from what I seen.

It will be nice change of pace to see a black and white cartoon that’s not Pixar, Dreamworks, Disney, Anime or Saturday Morning.

“I never saw it as a cartoon,” the artist said in an interview.

Is this Satrapi saying she never envisioned her work as an animated film quoted out of context, or is this Satrapi saying that she doesn’t think of this movie as a cartoon in the same way that hoity-toity writers doing stories about time travel or nanotechnology or global warming will assertively state that they aren’t doing science fiction? The latter would be a somewhat surprising statement for someone who attracted so much attention for doing her memoirs in comic book form when the majority of the American public, at least, still acts surprised when comics are more than just guys in tights punching each other.

It is a brilliant piece of work, that I hope gets a much needed spotlight. It really opened my eyes to how normal many people in Iran actually are, even though they’re in horrible circumstances.

The book initially passed me by, since Pantheon books don’t normally get written up in most comic websites (I think I read about it here first, thanks to Heidi).

I can’t WAIT to see this. It’s a timely story, based on a brilliant piece of work.

Yep, the U.S. version (vol. 1 and 2) is published by Pantheon. I read Persepolis a year ago. It’s incredibly good. We have it at our school library, and I recommend it to all my students. An animated version of David B’s Epileptic would be cool.

Kirsten Dunst? I wasn’t a big fan of her voice work on Kiki’s Delivery Service.

Is Persepolis (the comic) available in the U.S.? All this reporting on the movie has made me very interested in the original material.
