Persepolis

Review of Persepolis

HISTORY OF CONTEMPORARY IRAN

With all of the noise coming from our elected officials regarding the Iranian "threat" it is valuable to hear and see about contemporary Iran from the viewpoint of an Iranian family. Although it is filmed in a cartoon style this is no cartoon, but an excellent view through the eyes of a young female Iranian as she grows up. You may learn more about Iran, its history over the past 60 years and the police state it is under with control by the religious leadrs. I can't help but, consider this an excellent film to be compared to a young American female growing up in a much more sheltered way in JUNO. Don't miss either of these films. Peace. EDDIEE
