124. Persepolis (2007)


Country: Iran
Directed by Marjane Satrapi, Vincent Paronnaud

Not exactly an Iranian animation in terms of production and language but certainly a film about Iran with 'Iranian' soul , 'Persepolis' is a vivid account about what happened in the country after the Islamic revolution through the eyes of a young Iranian girl. The film manages to seem realistic in its presentation without to be one sided, the story is breathtaking , the character of the girl within just few minutes becomes familiar and impressively universal - not a kid with a 'strange' life somewhere on the earth but one of us- the drawing is highly artistic but minimal; not need to wonder why the film got that much praise and success around the world
