"In postrevolutionary #Iran, there are so many rules that filmmakers have to follow, and the fact that such beautiful things come through the cracks of those rigid guidelines is nothing short of a miracle. And though #IranianCinema is well known for its family dramas, there’s quite a bit of genre play as well."

Persepolis | Rotten Tomatoes

Based on Satrapi's graphic novel about her life in pre and post-revolutionary Iran and then in Europe. The film traces Satrapi's growth from child to rebellious, punk-loving teenager in Iran. In the background are the growing tensions of the political climate in Iran in the 70s and 80s, with members of her liberal-leaning family detained and then executed, and the background of the disastrous Iran/Iraq war.
