great! I wonder if it's playing anywhere in Ventura county...but if not, you'll find it in the valley or in LA. =]

Wow, it's a film now? I read the graphic novel, but I had no idea it was being made into a movie. I'll have to check it out.

yeah the graphic novel was one of those things that I always reminded myself to check out, but never got around to reading....so when the film finally came out of course I jumped on the opportunity to see it. It actually premiered in Los Angeles at the film festival I was working at following a special tribute to Catherine Deneuve.

From what I've heard, apparently the film is a lot more "tight" (which is a good thing) and flows better than the novel....so go watch it!
