Persepolis
2007 · TMDB 7.9
Directed by Marjane Satrapi, Vincent Paronnaud
In 1970s Iran, Marjane 'Marji' Satrapi 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.
Why it matters
Marjane Satrapi's animated memoir of growing up during the Iranian Revolution is a punk-inflected tale of a girl who fights for her own identity against both Western hypocrisy and fundamentalist oppression.
