Checklist: Our Top Picks for the Week

Newsweek

Rent “Persepolis,” Marjane Satrapi’s funny, defiant and unique animated vision of her tumultuous coming of age in Iran—with a hilarious detour to her exile in Vienna. It’s like no animated movie you’ve ever seen.

Surf livestrong.com, a health, fitness and lifestyle Web site launched by the Lance Armstrong Foundation and Demand Media Inc. Browse thousands of videos, articles and nutritional-food profiles, as well as networking with others trying to meet similar health and fitness goals.

Hear “Supreme Genius of King Khan,” by King Khan and the Shrines. Garage-rock shaman King Khan has been peddling his sweaty blend of psychopunk R&B through Europe for nearly 10 years. Now with their first stateside release, the man and his band are set to arrive on our shores—all blazing horns, churning organ and barbed-wire guitar. Yow! ($13.98)

See “The Impressionists: Master Paintings From the Art Institute of Chicago” at the Kimbell Art Museum in Ft. Worth, Texas. On an exclusive loan from Chicago’s venerable museum, the 92 paintings in this exhibition include signature works by Van Gogh, Cézanne, Monet, Renoir, Gauguin, Toulouse-Lautrec and more (through Nov. 2; kimbellart.org).

Go to Salt Lake City for the Utah Arts Festival, a four-day event featuring music, art, film, kids’ events and more. This year’s featured artist is the MASS Ensemble, a performance group that combines art, music and choreography (June 26–29; uaf.org).
