The Iranian born French director of The Persepolis, Marjane Satrapi won the Cesar Award for the best Animation of the year at the French Oscar last night.
Marjane had won the Jury Award at Cannes film festival for the same movie and she is currently in Los Angeles to be at Oscar Ceremony, Monday morning in Malaysian time.
The Persepolis is based on her Comic book -the same title- which is the story of her childhood and has won lots of awards all over the world.
The main theme of the Comic book is about her childhood in Iran around the Islamic Revolution time and then continued with her immigration to Europe to study and ...
Not surprisingly both movie and book have been banned in Iran.
It is really difficult to win the Oscar tomorrow while you have animations like Ratatouille as your competitor but all my prayers go for her.
Cheers
