- 4:30PM
Marjane Satrapi adapted her acclaimed graphic novels—based on her experiences growing up amid Iran’s Islamic Revolution—into this masterfully moving animated fable, which finds irreverent humor in the darkest of circumstances. Inked in striking monochrome, it follows the precocious Marjane from age eight to 24 as she rebels against the increasingly oppressive conservatism infiltrating Iranian society, finding liberation in rock ’n’ roll and an adventurous life of the mind.
