Storyline:
In 1970s Iran, Marjane 'Marji' Statrapi watches events through her young eyes and her idealistic family of a long dream being fulfilled of the hated Shah's defeat in the Iranian Revolution of 1979. However as Marji grows up, she witnesses first hand how the new Iran, now ruled by Islamic fundamentalists, has become a repressive tyranny on its own. With Marji dangerously refusing to remain silent at this injustice, her parents send her abroad to Vienna to study for a better life. However, this change proves an equally difficult trial with the young woman finding herself in a different culture loaded with abrasive characters and profound disappointments that deeply trouble her. Even when she returns home, Marji finds that both she and homeland have changed too much and the young woman and her loving family must decide where she truly belongs.
Sean Penn as Mr. Satrapi - Marjane's father (voice: English version) Iggy Pop as Uncle Anouche (voice: English version) Gena Rowlands as Marjane's grandmother (voice: English version) Lexie Kendrick as (voice: English version)

Spanning from the late 70s through the early 90s, Persepolis is mostly the story of the Iranian Islamic Revolution seen through the eyes of an young Iranian woman. Almost autobiographical, at times funny and poignant, the movie has the most powerful scenes you'll even see in animation. It has a fascinating plot and strong female characters doing battle with the revolution's imposed moral code, especially our heroine who likes western clothes and music. Peppered with political statements about right and wrong, it will leave an indelible desire to fight and be true to yourself.

Peresepolis, the movie version of the autobiographical book is a complete delight. How can you not love Marijan the main character as she grows up beneath the shadow of the horror of war and revolution in Iran -- yet she remains a complete character -- enjoying Western music and being an all out girl under her head scarf. This is a must see.

An excellent movie that provides a nuanced of life in Iran. Very innovative use of animation.

I don't like seeing movies more than ones, it rarely happens and it happened for this movie. I have seen it twice already and want to see it again. Besides its content is very impressive and the way it tells the story is pretty accurate, the art of the movie itself is spellbinding. I laughed and cried at the same time throughout the movie. Very real, so close to the heart. Don't let the fact that the movie is black and white animation in most part prevents you to go, give it a chance, you won't regret.

Great story, great animation, wonderful voice acting, even great subtitles!
This film will pull you in and never let you go. If you read the book this film is definitely a bonus, but you don't have to read the book to get the movie. This film is not playing in many theaters, so if it's playing in your area you must see this film!
