I checked this flick yesterday and I give it a two thumbs up. Based on a true story, Persepolis is a coming-of-age narrative of an uncompromising Iranian culture through the scope of an observant, open-minded, young girl. Cleverly done in form of anime, Persopolis’ heroine, Marjane Satrapi undergoes a serious exploration of adolescence and identity in a culture of intolerance amidst the Iranian Revolution… not to mention understanding the cost of freedom…
. .don’t burn the day. .

HA! YEAHHH!!! You’re THE BEST! Funny, theres is a specific scene in the film, when Marjane returns from the “free-er” world of Vienna back to Iran…and at customs desk, she is asked something along the lines of, “Do you have any illegal foreign objects, anything against the moral conduct of Iran.. culture, music, film, art, porn?” I chuckled as I prep for my way to well, ya know… land of restrictions… This flick made me that MUCH MORE excited to tell my OWN tale!!
