Chicken With Plums – The Review
19 October 2012 6:10 AM, PDT | WeAreMovieGeeks.com | See recent WeAreMovieGeeks.com news »
Review by Barbara Snitzer
Chicken With Plums (Poulet Aux Prunes) is an enchanting confection of a movie. I was unexpectedly delighted by this unique movie. It is the follow-up film from co-directors Iranian Marjane Satrapi and Frenchman Vincent Paronnaud to their 2007 film Persepolis, a film I did not see (despite hearing good buzz) as I’m not big on animation; this movie has made me reconsider.
My biggest complaint about this movie is with its title: it refers to a trifling detail in the film, and waiting to discover its significance was distracting. Also, it sounds like a movie about food, non? And even if it were about food, in an age of foodies and Top Chef, it’s not an appealing dish. It’s hard to believe that the imagination is on display on screen couldn’t come up with something more appealing.

Tribeca 2012: ‘Chicken With Plums’ returns Marjane Satrapi’s work to the big screen
21 April 2012 8:22 PM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
Chicken With Plums (Poulet aux Prunes)
Written by Marjane Satrapi and Vincent Paronnaud
Directed by Marjane Satrapi and Vincent Paronnaud
France, 2011
The last time she adapted her own graphic novel into a film, Marjane Satrapi deftly translated her memoir Persepolis into an animated feature that struck a careful balance between poignant coming-of-age realizations and the often-harsh political and social realities that are part and parcel of growing up amidst political and religious turmoil. This time around, once again joined by co-conspirator Vincent Paronnaud (with whom she shares writing and directing duties), Satrapi tackles what would seem to be nearly as personal a project, a tribute to her great-uncle, but Chicken With Plums doesn’t aim for the kind of cultural specificity and political import of Persepolis; instead, it feels as much a film about the possibilities of film, specifically live-action film, which she here tackles for the first time.
