Persepolis is a poignant story of a young girl in Iran during the Islamic Revolution. It is through the eyes of the precocious and outspoken nine year old, Marjane, that we see a people's hopes dashed as fundementalists take power - forcing the veil on women and imprisoning thousands. Clever and fearless, she outsmarts the 'guardians' and discovers punk. Yet when her uncle is senselessly executed - and as bombs fall around Tehran - the daily fear that permeates life in Iran is palpable.

As she gets older, Marjane's boldness causes her parents to worry over her continued safety. And so - at age fourteen - they make the difficult decision to send her to school in Austria. Vulnerable and alone in a strange land she endures the typical ordeals of a teenager.

 Another point of view on the Axis of Evil

Persepolis is a superb animated film adaptation of the comic strip. A lovely film, tragic, funny and revealing an Iran we Europeans hardly know. Although the author and director is clearly against the current regime, she's also a warm patriot. Absolutely worth seeing.

 Great great

Great watch,highly recommended.

 Sublime!

Very interesting to find out from the inside what happened in Iran just before and after the revolution. Great script, very well done (animation by hand), witty and humorous dialogues for such a serious issue.
