Director: Marjane Satrapi and Vincent Paronnaud
Rating: 8.5/10
There are so many movies around the world that are based on lives of people in and after a revolution, in and after a war but very very few movies are based on the life of one person and what he or she goes through during war.
Persepolis is one such story, and a true one at that, based on the autobiographical graphic novel of the same name taking us through the Iran-Iraq war, and how the volatile and ever changing conditions of the country can affect a childhood and a life.
Seen from the eyes of young Marjane, the movie brings out emotions of confusion and a constant search for self of a person whose whole world is turned upside down when her country falls into terrible times.
Heart-wrenching, terrifying and yet amazingly engrossing,
Persepolis is an animated movie for the grown-ups, that combines human sensibilities with the art of cartoons.
