Persepolis
Movie Information
In Brief: The very unusual and surprisingly powerful Oscar-nominated animated biographical film (2007) about the extraordinary — and yet perfectly relatable — life of an Iranian girl. Though playful in tone, it's a narrative that goes much deeper than one might expect. It's a film that should be seen — and one that benefits from a second look, as well. This excerpt was taken from a review by Ken Hanke published on May 1, 2012.
