Synopsis: Persepolis is an emotionally powerful, dramatically enthralling autobiographical gem. This coming-of-age film displays the trials of an out-spoken Iranian girl who finds her unique attitude repeatly challenged during the Islamic revolution. Marjane Satrapi's bestselling novel springs to life on film, making Persepolis not only one of the year's best animated films, but one of the year's best films overall.

“More than just the first film in recent memory to be considered a must-see, Persepolis begs for a second viewing...”
