This graphic novel, turned animated film, will be screened at the Portsmouth Music Hall March 21-26th at 7:00 p.m. each night, and a discussion will follow the March 25th showing. Persepolis, by Marjane Satrapi, follows a family living under Ayatollah Khomeni's tyrannical theocracy. Both the novel and film are a gripping, bittersweet, and surprisingly funny coming-of-age tale, covering such issues as adolescence, religious fundamentalism, marriage, and sexual awakening. The film is the winner of the Cannes Jury Prize and was an Academy Award nominee for Best Animated Film.
