Movie No. 47 (2013): PERSEPOLIS

Persepolis (2007)
Directors: Vincent Paronnaud, Marjane Satrapi
In French and Farsi, with English subtitles

Set during the Islamic Revolution in Iran, the movie is a coming-of-age tale of an outspoken yet stubborn girl.  The film's animation is flat, 2D, and has the look of the drawings in a comic book or graphic novels. It's mostly in glorious black and white. And it's not a bad thing. On the contrary, the choice of such kind if drawing is really fitting to the bleak backdrop of the story. More importantly, the movie is kind of informative as I know a little about that phase in Iranian history.
