Last weekend we went with our friend Ellen to see Persepolis, a feature film adaption of a graphic novel about about a young girl's coming of age during the Iranian revolution. The story is largely the same as the book, but its visual representation on the screen is much more layered and complicated than was the case with the frames on the page. This allows Satrapi to meet the complicated layers of the narrative with a visual match. Two thumbs up - we both liked it a lot. Afterward, we went to a local bar, the Duke of Perth for refreshment, imbibing in a Fuller or two. The Duke features a fine UK based beer list, along with an extensive list of Scotch, including several flights. This will be a great place to take our friends Wayne and Helena if they visit later this year -- Wayne is a wee bit of a fan of the scotch!
