Persepolis is one of the best theatrical foreign art films I think I have ever seen in my life. Marjane Satrapi, not only did the drawings for the movie but also for the books, has created a masterpiece.
The tale is about her life as a young girl in Iran during the Islamic Revolution. Along with her life during the Revolution, it also revolves around her life away from her parents and life on the street when she finds herself without money in another country.
This is a story of the dreams that were shattered after the Islamic revolution…the families that were broken…. and the collapse of the most ancient civilization on earth…It is a true story of one of the biggest human tragedies in 20 century and the movie very cleverly shows that fact.
Nominated for Oscar. Another 15 wins & 21 nominations. IMDB Rating 8.1/10
