The Detroit Film Theater and Persepolis

Yesterday, we went to the DIA yet again, and walked around Wayne State University yet again, and took more pictures, some of which I will surely show you at some point soon.

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.
