Film Review: Persepolis
Based on the true events of Marjane Satrapi’s life experiences, ‘Persepolis’, is a tale of an outspoken young girl growing up during the eighties, in a radically altering Iran. This very personal and unique french animated film, follows Marji, our spirited heroine, through social conflict, a revolution and the coming of age in Europe. Her impassioned journey encounters mouth opening moments of anger, pain, shock as well as romance, humour and charm.
