This article is about the the animated movie. For other uses, see Persepolis (disambiguation).

Persepolis is a 2007 animated film based on the graphic novel of the same name. The film was written and directed by Marjane Satrapi (author of the novel) and Vincent Paronnaud. It tells the story of a young girl in Iran during the Islamic Revolution. Through the eyes of the nine-year-old Marjane it shows how people's hopes were dashed as the fundamentalists took power, forced the veil on women and imprisoned thousands. The title is a reference to the historical town of Persepolis.

The film won the Prize of the Jury at the 2007 Cannes Film Festival [1] and was released in France and Belgium on June 27. In her speech on receiving the Cannes award, Satrapi said "Although this film is universal, I wish to dedicate the prize to all Iranians."[2]

The U.S. version is scheduled in theatres on December 25, 2007.

Reaction of Iranian government

The film has drawn complaints from Iranian government. Even before its debut at the Cannes Film Festival, the government-connected organisation Iran Farabi Foundation sent a letter to the French embassy in Tehran stating "This year the Cannes Film Festival, in an unconventional and unsuitable act, has chosen a movie about Iran that has presented an unrealistic face of the achievements and results of the glorious Islamic Revolution in some of its parts." [3]
