Persepolis (2007)
Directed by Vincent Paronnaud
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.

What critics compared Persepolis to
Though utterly simplistic, “Persepolis” recounts the epic war time heartbreak and black hole of violence and horror in the vein of films like “Grave of the Fireflies” and “Osama,” and it’s a film I hope gets its due someday.
