Movies: In Bruges and Persepolis

Both of these were very good. In Bruges ***1/2 and recommended if you don't mind some blood and violence.

Persepolis was really good, but I did wish I spoke French in watching it. Having to deal with the subtitles was much more annoying than usual, for two reasons. First, they weren't up that long and they were B&W on a B&W movie with no background box so very difficult to read. Secondly, the visual style is so cool and well done that not being able to fully appreciate it as I was constantly struggling to read the subtitles and so not able to fully appreciate the rest of the picture was annoying. ****
