"Persepolis" is the story of a young girl in Iran during the Islamic revolution when people’s hopes were dashed as fundamentalists took power. Like the book on which it is based, the film consists of a series of monochrome drawings, their bold black lines washed with nuances of gray. The tale unfolds with such grace, intelligence and charm that you almost take the wondrous aspects of its execution for granted. Featuring the voices of Chiara Mastroianni and Catherine Deneuve. 2007. Rated PG-13. 96 minutes.
