A Stunning and Unique Coming of Age Story

Persepolis (2007)
Directed by Vincent Parronnaud and Marjane Satrapi, rated PG-13, 96 minutes

Persepolis is a beautiful and poignant Iranian animated film about an intelligent young girl who grows up in Iran during the Islamic revolution. The animated style is unique and superbly done, allowing many creative scenes. The film transplants you to a very different time, but the story is universal and anyone can relate to the feelings of this young girl. Persepolis is a fantastic and original film about the complexities of growing up, and its honest and thoughtful story will last with you. You'll like it if: You like coming of age stories, female protagonists, foreign movies, animated movies, The Kite Runner or Slumdog Millionaire.
