The film Iran didn’t want the world to see.
At its core, Persepolis explores the complexities of identity and the search for freedom and individuality. Marjane’s journey is deeply personal and relatable, as she fights the clash between tradition and modern times, the restrictions of an oppressive regime, and the challenges of finding her place in the world. Her personal and political resilience is emphasized while preserving the comic's original wit, comedic elements, and beautiful black and white illustrations.
