Censoring Botticelli's Birth of Venus ! Now that is some sick, twisted shit...

A nigh perfect realisation of what it feels to not belong, this examination of a young girl's life as she grows up in Iran is a truly affecting piece of cinema. Beautifully written, fantastically animated and wonderfully voiced (French version) it is, despite its imperfect ending, a shining example of masterclass filmmaking. As close to a masterpiece as a film can be without quite being one.

Tunisia's post-Arab Spring forward into a world of ideas and differences have been tested with Nessma TV's recent broadcast of Marjane Satrapi's acclaimed animated adaptation of her autobiographical graphic novel series. Persepolis which won the 2007 Cannes Jury Prize contains an imaginary depiction of a deity a young Marjane talks to which sparked violent protests among Islamic conservatives. Recommended viewing.

Terrible ces actions des salafistes tunisiens contre la diffusion de "Persepolis" par Nasmra TV. A méditer : "L'interdit de l'image ne figure à aucun endroit dans le Coran. Seule la tradition sunnite en fait un dogme en vertu d'une extrapolation exégétique qui rapporte l'image au culte de l'idole". Youssef Sedik, "Nous n'avons jamais lu le Coran, Editions de l'Aube, 2010, p.276.

Mesmo em formato TV, "Persépolis" guarda um frescor de tela grande. Pouco perde do primeiro impacto: pés calcados nos fatos históricos e na história de vida da jovem Marjane. À mercê dos acontecimentos, ela quer manter a integridade ao mesmo tempo em que precisa simplesmente salvar a pele! Paronnaud e a própria Marjane fizeram um filme cruel. Só uma animação pra dar conta de um tema árido como a repressão cultural!

Huwaah mantep banget neeh Persepolis (2007) di Metro TV tadi , walau sangat dark dan frame politiknya yang suram, tapi intinya bisa menjadi inspirasi bagi remaja-remaja yang tumbuh dalam situasi politik yang tidak menentu. Situasi politik seharusnya tidak bisa mengubah mereka dari menjadi diri sendiri. (A)

Strong and gentle at the same time. It doesn't even seem an animated movie. A must see!

A wonderful piece of animation. It has a great style of surrealism but keeps it within the boundaries of reality for the story. Fantastic.
