Posted by admin On March - 7 - 2009

Thanks to Roadshow Entertainment we have a copy of Persepolis on DVD to give away. To be in the draw to win this Region 4 DVD, just leave a comment below. Competition closes on April 4th, 2009.

About the Film:
In 1970s Iran, Marjane ‘Marji’ Statrapi watches events through her young eyes and her idealistic family of a long dream being fulfilled of the hated Shah’s defeat in the Iranian Revolution of 1979. However as Marji grows up, she witnesses first hand how the new Iran, now ruled by Islamic fundamentalists, has become a repressive tyranny on its own. With Marji dangerously refusing to remain silent at this injustice, her parents send her abroad to Vienna to study for a better life. However, this change proves an equally difficult trial with the young woman finding herself in a different culture loaded with abrasive characters and profound disappointments that deeply trouble her. Even when she returns home, Marji finds that both she and homeland have changed too much and the young woman and her loving family must decide where she truly belongs.

A truly beautiful story. – Andrew Colter, FilmGuide.

    One of the greatest political films of all times. It engages with recent Iranian history with the necessary amount of critical distance, engagement, humour and sorrow.

    I didn’t know that Persepolis was ruined city situated northeast of Shiraz in modern-day Iran.
