What would you do if you were suddenly left with a lifetime’s worth of memories that weren’t all necessarily your own? This slow burning melodrama stars the wonderful Juliette Binoche (Hidden, Paris) as one of a family of 40-something siblings who reunite in the wake of the death of their mother to decide what to do with her priceless art collection. As she and her family debate its fractured future, their story gradually unfolds into a tale of hidden scandal, family ties and duty amidst the dusty treasures.

Persepolis is a touching coming-of-age story about an intelligent, outspoken girl growing up during the Iranian Revolution. Crafted in the same bold animation style that characterised Marjane Satrapi’s graphic novel. This inspiring tale of a heroine who simply refuses to conform was a huge hit when Tyneside reopened and is on its way to being one of 2008’s best films.
