The TVI Take
Marjane Satrapi and Vincent Paronnaud's 2007 animated adaptation of Satrapi's graphic memoir about her childhood in revolutionary Iran. The structural commitment to letting black-and-white traditional animation render the Iranian Revolution's specific historical complexity, at register both children's animation and adult-prestige cinema typically refuse, established the catalog's most-canonical animated biographical work.
