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. 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.
Leave your thoughts about Persepolis.
| Sydney Morning HeraldSandra HallThe monochromatic palette and simple lines of Satrapi's drawings go with a lusty sense of humour. |
| ReelTalk Movie ReviewsJeffrey ChenA focused tone [puts] you right into the head of its storyteller, where everything about the art augments the initmacy of the teller's thoughts and emotions. |
| Filmcritic.comChris BarsantiA work of art that's light as a feather. A true masterpiece. |
| Detroit Free PressJohn MonaghanMore than just the first film in recent memory to be considered a must-see, Persepolis begs for a second viewing, if only to chart the way it so delicately weaves together the different stages of Marjane's life. |
| Chicago ReaderJ.R. JonesIf "Ratatouille" taught the world that rats have feelings too, Persepolis teaches the same thing about the people of Iran, who in the current political climate are probably in greater danger of being eradicated. |
| Associated PressChristy LemirePersepolis is a true original in the eclectic world of animation, one that's full of fascinating contradictions. |
| Houston ChronicleAmy BiancolliA film as personal and eccentric as Satrapi's original book, a black-and-white, hand-drawn memoir of growing up and away from Iran. |
| NewsweekDavid AnsenIt's not to be missed in any language. In a year that has given us such marvelous animated movies as "Ratatouille" and "Paprika," this vibrant, sly and moving personal odyssey takes pride of place. |
| USA TodayClaudia PuigCinematic poetry in black and white. It also is a deeply affecting tale of the power of resilience and an unflagging sense of humor through the worst of situations |
| Premiere MagazineGlenn KennyWhile avoiding specious bromides about universality, Persepolis insists on communicating with its audience, and insists that communication and empathy are the keys to our survival. |
