We also went to the Detroit Film Theater which is located at the DIA. It was my first ever trip to the Detroit Film Theater--remember--I am new in town--and I loved it. It is a beautiful old-fashioned theater all fancy and done up in gold. The first picture I took hand-held inside a partially darkened theater--it was very dark for pictures.

The movie we saw was Persepolis, which got a golden globe for the foreign language film. It was in French with English subtitles and about a fiesty Iranian woman Marjane. It's an animated film based on her graphic novel. I haven't read the book (BB has), and was pleasantly surprised. I loved the movie. I highly recommend it. The second and third shots are not mine, obviously, but from the promotional materials from the movie.
Now I want to read the book. The movie was really really good.

Hi Mary
I saw in your profile your age is 261!!!!!!!!!
About the link in my post, that's how I did it in the first place but then Dot told me she didn't understand. I tried it four times and every time it was not the right page showing up. It seems to be a protected page or something like that. The last part in the link " _broom" is the problem it disappears every time. This is the only way it works. Thank you for visiting, I love your photos.
OK! Well, that's weird.
Sorry it didn't work. But when I copied and pasted it, it did work fine.
Oh and thanks for your compliment!
I am actually 61 but I don't feel 61 and I don't like being considered "old."
The theater looks neat, the stage and surrounding area remind me of field trips we used to take when I was in school to the movies. We didnt get to see the good ones. We had to watch the historical movies or the one with a moral to the story. I was just glad to get out of a half day of school.
Hello, I have been away for a few days and will never catch up! HAHA. Love the theatre, especially old ones. I have enjoyed all your photographs I missed :)
Thank you for paying homage to a Frnch film. Marjane Satrapi is French now and she exposes what some women live in "certain" islamic countries.
