Persepolis

You will fall for this film instantly. It's a French feature length cartoon based on a graphic novel that observes the coming of age of a young girl, Marjane voiced by Chaira Mastroianni, in 1980s Iran. After living through the reign of the Shah, Marjane's family finds the religious government of the Ayatollahs even worse. Persepolis author Marjane Satrapi co-directs with Vincent Paronnaud and the animation never strays from a black-and-white graphic novel aesthetic. Additional voices are provided by Catherine Deneuve and Danielle Darrieux, which means that there's three generations of French sex symbols all wrapped up in one snuggle bunny of a film.
The official Gaul entry for foreign film Persepolis made the cut for an Oscar nom. If you've seen the trailer it seems to emphasize the song "Eye of the Tiger" being sung by pre-teen Marjane, but that's more of a comment on the 80s during which most of the story is set. There's a lot more than a song from a Rocky movie on display here such as when grade schooler Marjane wanders into the black market of Tehran to buy a bootleg cassette of Quiet Riot. As Marjane matures her revolutionary attitude to Iranian society requires that her parents have her educated abroad in Vienna. Time for punk rock, late nightclubbing and other recreational assistance in growing up.
For domestic audiences Persepolis presents an eye-opening chance to see how a typical middle class family that could be living anywhere tries to live a normal life under a repressive government.
