Last time I saw Buñuel's Los Olvidados, I thought a lot but didn't write it down - it was so fatal after all.
The annual "Iranian Spring" in Orsay featured three Iranian films this year. Saw the last one yesterday, Persepolis.

Marjane as a teenager: Nana, stop it.

Marjane's grandmother: Do you think that's any reason to deny your roots? Do you remember what I told you? Be true to yourself.
