The Sky Is Not The Same - PERSEPOLIS (2007)

How would you describe home? Your answer can stem anywhere from a simple one-word response to describing an experience beyond words. Marjane Satrapi's imaginative and harrowing Persepolis (2007) runs across this spectrum in one of the most distinct autobiographical accounts of the century. A chronicle that covers the Islamic Revolution of Iran, the Iran-Iraq War, and Satrapi's life story, this politically astute text breaks past the medium specific boundaries of its source material, with an emphasis on montage, genealogical relation to other film aesthetics, and animation that your hosts couldn't be more excited to dive into!
