Not only one of the most beautiful films I've ever seen, Persepolis is a piercing and interesting look at society, religion and war in Iran through 70's - 90's all wrapped up in a charming litter coming of age story. Funny, insightful, and shocking this film deserves to be seen by everyone.

This film reminds me of of all the books that I have had to read in modern literature classes, which is not a good thing.

Animation alone is great, but Satrapi's story and the way she tells it is endlessly entertaining.

Otra de las cinta que puedo ver mil veces, sobre todo esa escena donde harta, se levanta para retomar su vida al ritmo de Eye of tiger.

Rewatching this was so good. Everything I loved when first watching Persepolis I loved even more on this rewatch. The animation alone is outstanding, everything is simple but unmatched.

There's nothing gimmicky about this grownups' cartoon. Touching, unique, whimsical, profound.

As utterly beautiful and inventive as the animation and aesthetic is here, I only found the story intermittently compelling unfortunately.

Nice little animated story - Interesting, exotic and humorous.

The short on the DVD was good too.

This animated film following the life of an Iranian girl before and after the 1979 revolution was very interesting as a piece of history, but the girl's story failed to touch me. I don't know enough about Iran to be able to spot the biases, although it seemed pretty even-handed in its dislike of those in Iran, Iraq and Europe.
