Oscar Nominations
Posted by maggie

Well, it's going to be a strange contest for Animated Feature Film: Ratatouille and Surf's Up are aimed at audiences looking for wild animation entertainment, whereas Persepolis, which didn't make the finals for best foreign film despite being the official French submission, is a thought-provoking look into a young woman's development in Iran.

Persepolis has received raves and is based on work by comics creator Marjane Satrapi, who shares director credit on the 2007 film. (Have you read the comics version? It's stupendous.)
