Persepolis

A somber, Oscar-nominated, black-and-white, historically inspired French animated film that focuses on the life of a headstrong Iranian girl (voiceovers by Gabrielle Lopes and Chiara Mastroianni) growing up in Tehran beginning in 1978 with her politically active parents (voiceovers by Catherine Deneuve and Simon Abkarian) and tell-it-like-it-is grandmother (voiceover by Danielle Darrieux) under the politically repressive shah's regime, continuing with her schooling in Vienna, and ending with her eventual return to her homeland in 1992.
