Persepolis Trailer 2

Herebelow the second trailer of Persepolis:


This is movie raises real issues encountered by a girl growing under the Iranian Islamic Revolution.

This animated movie may not be as funny as Wall E or as Kung Fu Panda but it does not target the same public after all.

Persepolis targets indeed a more mature public that want to have a glimpse of an Iranian girl's life.

Persepolis Official trailer

Persepolis is an animated film based on the graphic novel of the same name. Marjane Satrapi, author of the novel, wrote the screenplay and directed the film with Vincent Paronnaud.

The film won the Prize of the Jury at the 2007 Cannes Film Festival and was released in France and Belgium on June 27.
On receiving the Cannes award, Marjane Satrapi said "Although this film is universal, I wish to dedicate the prize to all Iranians."

Persepolis should be released in the USA on Christmas 2007.

Here the trailer of Persepolis:


The plot:
The movie tells the story of Marjani, a young girl during the Islamic Revolution in Iran. It shows how people's hopes were dashed as the fundamentalists took power, forced the veil on women and imprisoned thousands. It also tells the story of this small girl who is growing up and is experiencing life from a really special perspective...

Definitely worth watching!
