Persepolis
Based on Marjane Satrapi's graphic novel about her life in pre- and post-revolutionary Iran and then in Europe, Persepolis traces Satrapi's growth from child to rebellious, punk-loving teenager in Iran. In the background are the growing tensions of the political climate in Iran in the 70s and 80s, with members of her liberal-leaning family detained and then executed, and the background of the disastrous Iran/Iraq war. Persepolis gathered many accolades upon release, including a Best Animated Feature nomination at the Academy Awards. It also brought controversy thanks to its overt rebellious attitude towards a repressive regime, and was temporarily banned in two nations. Fierce, fearless, and feminist, Persepolis is a worthy addition to AniMAYtion at Central Cinema. Presented in it's original French with English subtitles.AnimationPT1H35MPG-13Chiara Mastroianni
