Marjane Satrapi’s critically acclaimed memoir, “Persepolis”, comes to life in this witty and heartfelt animated feature. Persepolis is the poignant story of a young outspoken girl’s coming-of-age in Iran during the Islamic Revolution. When Marjane’s boldness causes her parents to worry over her safety, they decide to send her to school in Austria. Vulnerable and alone in a strange land, she endures the typical ordeals of a teenager. In addition, she has to combat being equated with the religious fundamentalism she fled her country to escape. Over time, she gains acceptance and even experiences love, but after high school finishes, she is alone and horribly homesick. Though it means putting on the veil and living in a tyrannical society, Marjane decides to return to Iran to be close to her family.
