Review of Persepolis (2007) by Andrew G — 23 Sep 2009
Told like a surrealist fantasy that shows the reality of growing up in Iran and an Iranian. A beautifully stylized coming-of-age story that is dark, quirky and in places beautifully juxtaposed in terms of the images with the context.
The music also compliments the images well, and the vocal performances are also great. The strongest part of the film for me easily is the way Marjane develops as a central character and how this development drives the film's plot and its impact on the world in which it's set.
A superb film.
