STORE EVENTS THIS WEEK

MEMBER PICK MOVIE NIGHT: "Persepolis," Thu Mar 31 @ 7pm

A fascinating and wholly unexpected take on Iran?s Islamic 
revolutionbeginning in the 1970s, Persepolis is an enthralling, animated 
feature about a spirited young woman who spends her life trying to deal with 
the consequences of her nation?s history.  

Based on an autobiographical comic book by Marjane Satrapi, the storyconcerns 
Marji, whose natural fire and precociousness are slowly dampened by the rise 
of religious extremists. Marji grieves over the imprisonment and execution of 
a beloved uncle, then begrudgingly adapts to ever-tightening rules about 
dress, social mores, education for women, and expectations about marriage and 
divorce. Along the way, her grandmother and mother help keep Marji grounded 
during her rebellious teens and encourage her to find life beyond Iran?s 
borders, a decision that proves both a blessing and curse.  

A unique window onto a crucial chapter of 20th century history,Persepolis is 
graphically engaging with its black-and-white, bold lines and feeling of 
repressed energy, fit to burst. The emotional content is so strong that after 
awhile, one almost forgets the film is a cartoon.SOME APRIL EVENTS
