Persépolis

Marianna Madriz

An all time favourite. Loyal to the comic book, funny and daring.

Just rewatched. Some of the most wonderful visual storytelling, truly.

Nicely made with appropriate b/w comic figures, this is essential introduction to the world of both dismal and emancipatory politcs. The oscillation between macro-levels of cultural division and the micro identity and sexual politics is effectively woven into a narrative that unfolds with unusual truthfulness. Interesting is the fusion of martial arts with femininity. Sober anti-clericalism in a good political comic.

Loved how different the movie and the book made me feel, even tough the adaptation is as faithful as could be. Also, I watched it while traveling so it brought a whole other meaning to it, as Marjane constantly moves from city to city, from house to house. I felt that the word "home" meant nothing to her, by the end of it. I hope I never feel like that ever.

Whilst 'Waltz With Bashir' may arguably be the best political animation of all time, Persepolis gets awfully close.

It depicts Iran's political history in a unique and endearing way. 5 stars for it's interesting story and animation

A Cultural Criticism that needs to get contemplate enough or someone 'll get a radical point from this.
