Persepolis co-directors Marjane Satrapi and Vincent Paronnaud make the leap from animation to live action with this expressionistic adaptation of Satrapi's moving graphic novel about a grief-stricken musician.
Idiocracy
Joe Bowers (Luke Wilson) is not the sharpest tool in the shed, but when a government hibernation experiment goes awry, Bowers awakens in the year 2505 to find a society so dumbed down by mass commercialism and mindless TV programming that he's become the smartest guy on the planet. Now it's up to an average Joe to get human evolution back on track. The second live action feature from Judge (Beavis and Butthead, King of the Hill), primary-color set design and violent slapstick feel straight out of his 90s cartoon beginnings.
