Christine B.

Marjane Strapi is very famous in France for her cartoon (BD). The movie talk about her life when she was in Iran. It s very touching and also funny. It s allow you to see the revolution in Iran from another perspective. The black and white or the color used during the movie are really well done. For the voice I see the movie in french and really enjoy Deneuve and her daughter chiara Mastroianni. These movie is like the Triplette de Belleville (highly recommended) very far from walt Disney and for a older public

Excellent mix of animation,politics, and history. Leaves lots of room for imagination and by the end of the movie you will definitely want to meet someone just like perspolis.
