Review: PERSEPOLIS




By now you've probably noticed that we like animated features. Our recommendation for this week's "enjoy it on the comfort of your couch" film is this French film from 2008 'PERSEPOLIS'.


Marjane Satrapi tells us her life story through her comic book of the same name. It all begins during the 70's with a fundamentalist Islamic government and a traditionalist family. These two prove to be the worst combination for a young woman with dreams of leading a different and goal-oriented life.

The narrative is quite interesting, dark and with a few touches of greatness. The style is simple and traditional. Using monochromic animations is a perfect way to show how during this time, life and the things you did in Iran where either done the right way or the wrong way; no gray areas.

This is a film that goes way beyond animation and portrays how there are people in the world that live in much more complicated situations and with fewer options in life than most of us. In other words, a true story of overcoming every obstacle life puts in your path.

9/10 Good Popcorn Fun.
