    Et le vocabulaire qu'elle utilise et très très marrant!

  • I am an American teacher currently residing in Dubai. There is news for Iranian nationals.

    It will soon be easier for Iranian students between the ages of 16 to 21 to get visas to study in America. The process takes a few years to complete. If you have an Iranian passport, and you would like to begin a new life in the United States as a university student, please respond to this message.

    Those entering the fields of nursing and education have the highest chances of success.

  • isn't youtube blocked there?

  • J'ai vu ce film, ce film c'est la vie, la vôtre la nôtre toute nationalité confondu,il y'a bien sur les régimes répressif que je n'ai pas connu et les guerres aussi, mais l'auteur livre bien le message ...Intégrité, se tenir loin de la peur et aller de l'avant sans soif de vangeance face a qui ou quoi que ce soit. A voir très beau et fort ce film Bravo Bravo Bravo .

  • Well said! This film stayed with me well after it was over and I think besides the fact that it took place in Iran, more importantly it showed the weight of leadership and religion and war almost breaking the back of a family keeping them apart, keeping a young girl feeling like a foreigner in her own native country, depressed, dislocated. The effects of War is what is the True running theme of this film is. Je regret que je n'ai pas vu ce filme en Cannes a cet fois - (pardon le Francais)

  • wow your french works just fine with me lol and yes i agree with you. Somehow its tuff to stay away from any political comment but i guess it would be to easy, since we're trap anyway in this so called democratic way of life witch seperates reality from fiction in such an tiny way but again how can we have the smalest idea what to expect from the attractors or the decision makers of this world its seems clear to me that we may have reach seabed into the world of nonscense more people left alone

  • Mdr' .. J'suis en train de le regarder en Francais !  lol J'adore trop xD

  • Allez voir ce film!

  • perse means ASS in estonian...

  • Quelq'un devrait le posté sur youtube.

    Ce film à l'air trop bon!!!!!!

  • Haha Iron Maiden :] I loved this movie

  • Cant wait to see this at MIFF

  • This is a lovely animation. This film shows the concise history of Iran in the form of a fairly tale.

    Frankly, Im ignorant about the modern history of Iran. But this film may be a good 'introduction' to the history of the country.

  • this movie made me cheer, laugh and cry...

    it was just a beautiful film, 5/5!

  • '' mais pas du tout c'est malcom x'' mdrrrrrr non sérieu ce film je sens que je vais me l'acheter en dvd ils montrent en gros les droits innaliénables bafoués en (iran ?, je pense) très bon film d'ailleur un prix du festival de Canne !!!!

  • Yes, finland is a country. ...

  • -_-...

  • The old lady cawing out "MICHEAL JACKSON" made me lol.

  • "Perse" mean ass in finland O.o

  • The best movie ever that represents a whole generation who live in a dictatorship.. really amazing... but really sad...

  • looks awesome, cant wait to see it.

  • To film o wysokim artyzmie, spełniający bardzo przenikliwie i błyskotliwie moc dziennikarską sztuki. Taki czas pogardy, absurdu, groteski jest i nam Polakom nieobcy. Tylko my mieliśmy trochę więcej szczęścia w walce z totalitaryzmem. Film uczy współczucia, pokazuje to, co się faktycznie dzieje w kreskówce (to bardzo nowatorskie), przemienia realne na artystyczne, żeby przestało boleć. Zachwycający film.

  • Persia or Iran as been a shadow of its former Persian empire since Arabs invaded and forced the religion of Islam upon the Iranians.

  • bebakhshd chera film farsi nist?!

  • In filmham ke zedde regime.Hatta akhoonda eteraz kardan ino to donya pakhsh konan.

  • Why did Satrapi call her comic books and this movie Persepolis anyway? I think the title is totally irrelevant.

  • before iran was called iran, it was called persia, and its capital was named Persepolis. (polis = from the greek city)

  • I know that! :) I'm Iranian myself. (My name shows it.) What I meant was there wasn't any implied concept or simile during the movie to justify the title. I didn't find it good reason for Satrapi to call her movie Persepolis just because her story has to do with Iran. Well, that's what I think.

    Thanks for taking the time to reply anyway. :)

  • i think itz a symbol for what is no longer iran etc, if you know what i mean

  • yeah, and it also represents the past and the place where iranians came from - and isn't it what's the movie all about?

  • muito bom dá pra entender um pouco pela linguagem visual, bacana...

  • this is the time, that in school, i wish they taught us other languages beside spanish and the occasional french or german.

  • 이영화 정말 슬펐어요 ㅠㅠ 정말 정치적 싸움이라는 것은 소중한 가족까지 잃게 하는 것이네요 ....특히 삼촌이랑 마지막 면회할때 꼬마가 우는게 얼마나 불쌍하던지///

  • موضوع فیلم مربوط به 25 سال پیشه.چرا آقایون حالا به فکر ساختنش افتادن.چرا همون 25 سال پیش که به ملاهااسلحه میدادن فکر بیان حقیقت نبودن.اروپاییها بهتره حقایق کشور خودشون رو بیان کنن.در همین نروژ که من زندگی مینم هر سال دهها نفر بی دلیل به دست پلیس فاشیستش کشته میشن اماصدای هیچ سازمان حقوق بشری در نمیاد.تنها دلیلش هم اینکه اختلافی با امریکا انگیس ندارن.

  • پس اگه ما می بایست سخنگوی کشور خودمون باشیم پس چرا حالا فرانسویها بجای ما صحبت میکنن.مگر فرانسوی ها به کسی اجازه میدن درباره اونها سخن بگه.خانم مرجانه بدون کمک دولت فرانسه قادر نبود حتی یک یک برگ نوشته چاپ کنه چه برسه به ساخت فیلم.

  • من به اصل این اثر انتفاد نکردم.اما شما خود اعتراف کردید که ایشون با انگیزه کسب درامد این اثررو تولید کرد و نه بیان حقیفت.پس فیلم ارزش معنوی نداره اما به احتمال زیاد به دلایل سیاسی جایره اسکار رو خواهد برد.همزمان بودن اون با تولیدات ضد ایرانی هالیود حتی اون رو بی ارزشتر هم میکنه.پرسش من از شما اینه که آیا هر واقعیتی رو هروقت بدون درنطر گرفتن منافع ملی باید بیان کرد؟و به پیامد اون نیاندیشید؟درضمن هیچ کشوری در خاک خوداجاره تولید فیلم علیه دولت اون کشور رو نمیده.

  • قهر و پرخاش کردن به حکومت از مد افتاده.ولی اینگونه رفتارها هنوز از طرف ایرانیان مقیم امریکا دیده میشه.شمااگر بهره ای ازاون گرفتید میتونید ادامه بدید .بپ سخن من از اول این بود که به جای پر چونگی و خوراک تبلیغاتی در غرب و برای منافع اونها درست کنیم بیاید در داخل کاری بکنیم واگر نمیتوید بهتره سکوت کنید.

  • Dar dakhel kari bekond! shoma agha jan khodet ageh hameye neveshtahato ru hambezari , nemisheh sar dar biari keh donbale chi hasti..

    Mano vel kon ba in harfhaye bimanit... youre not also in Norway, youre an agent for the regime workignfor their rusted propaganda.LEAVE ME ALONE BROTHER.

  • اگر در ایران دموکراسی نیست واصلاجات به بن بست رسیده بخاطر دخالتهای بیجای یانکی های پست فطرت وحمایتای ایرانیهای بی عقل و خود فروخته اونجاست. if i am an agent for regime,you are agent for cia working for their rusted prapoganda.leave iranian alone bro.

  • Everything is USA's fault..zaheran zire solteye America hastim va hukumate mostaghel nadarim... I hope Iran regain its independency soon!

    shoma agha jan khodet ageh hameye neveshtahato ru ham bezari , nemisheh sar dar biari keh donbale chi hasti...

    I do let the majority of Iranians judge... And the end of story...

  • the shah needs to take his rightful place at the throne PAHLAVI!

  • philipnorway,

    Damet garm.

  • iron maiden (Y) xD

  • What a great movie...Thanks Marjane!!!!!

  • این فیلم همچون فیلم300 به منظور تحقیر ماواماده سازی افکار عمومی جهان برای حمله نطامی ساخته شده.وخانم مرجانه خواسته یاناخواسته به انها یاری رسانده .انتفاد یا محکوم کردن ان به معنی طرفداری از جمهوری اسلامی نیست .پرسپولیس نام یک اثر باستانیست وباید روی همین اثر باقی بماند.

  • i don't know how on earth could anybody understand the beauty of this movie not knowing the current history of iran and without living in there?

  • خانم مرجانه شما ایرانی نیسنید.بهتراست در مورد ایران وفرهنگ ان سکوت کنیدو نام پرسپولیس راکه هیچ ربطی به موضوع فیلم ندارد رااز روی ان بردارید

  • مطمئن باش هیچ غیر ایرانی نمیتونه همچین فیلم دقیق و زیبائی بسازه. لطفا موضع خودتونو شفاف تر بگید

  • ülkeme rejim ithal etmek isteyen iran,sömürmeye çalışan amerika,sürekli kandıran avrupa.Atatürk'ün kurduğu cumhuriyetimi ne siz nede içerdeki iş birlikçileriniz yıkamayacak.

    Yaşasın Tam Bağımsız Türkiye....

  • jickael machson huh?

  • I can't wait for this movie, it must be wonderful. i LOVED the book!

    ps: Does anybody know trailer's song name? i'm sure i've heard it but i can't remember.

  • I am Navajo Indian and my husband is Persian.

    When I watched this trailer it was both scarey and liberating to me. Scarey cause I wonder why are the women behaving like that. Iran scares me because I don't have a good source that will tell me why the people are like they are there. I loath being judgmental to anyone and want to always know the meaning behind cultural behavior.

  • Why do they behave like that? Religion. They call it Islam, and when my European ancestors lived under a theocracy they called it Christianity, but it's the same difference. Iran's government is theocratic, just like Europe was under theocratic rule/oppression in the Dark and Medieval Ages. If you take a close look at what Christian conservative fundamentalists from America and Africa stand for you will see they would like women to behave in about the same fashion, just like in Biblical times.

  • I wouldn't say that the shah regime was good.But this regime after the revolution definetely topped everything.I hope chomeini is paying for everything what he did to this country,such a fucking moron.

  • Wow! This looks really really good! It has some aspects of Japanese animation. Not all. but just enough. It combines a lot of culture and styles of animation.

  • Dude,i HAVE to see this movie im like half Irainian or somthing and like its so important for me too watch it - i hope i get a chance

  • not only do i think this is DEFINITELY the best animated film of the MILLENIUM, let alone the year, but also has the most INCREDIBLE art direction i have ever seen ... and to anyone who is offended, you are idiots b/c this IS what is actually going on in Iran, although the only parts I didn't like were those blatantly communist, but not enough so that it made me love the film less

    although my favorite part was DEFINITELY the Iron Maiden part, because I LOVE that band XD

  • I love this movie <)

  • no u dumbass it's defending iran by showing how peacful we were with the Shah and then it showed how it was after the horrible revelution of the fucking mullahs. and why the fuck were u not pissed at the bs 300, every persian exept of mullahs hate the movie, i think ur a fucking mullah defending the revelution.

  • WOW, that happened in ur imagination, during the shah's time, the shah helped every one, by forcing ppl who were iliterate to go to school, and i know this because my father use to be in the airforce of iran and he used to tell me about it.

    and wtf r u talking about, the shah showed almost every presidents or kings our history achievments, our ancient things, and back then our currency was way more than dollors.

  • oh yeah, your dad was in the airforce? that's not going to create bias at all.

    actually to be precise you're both morons, i've had family members tortured both by the shah and the current regime (and hell not even communists, but regular people). both regimes have had their good doings, but let's keep in my mind that one was traitor bastard of a king, and now we're stuck with a lying stealing group of religious elites. Anyone who supports one or the other must be a little soft in the head.

  • yes my dad was in the airforce. and if u actually did have family members tortured by the shah, u should say which shah u dumbass, his father Reza shah was to violent and he might have done that, but his son Mohamad reza shah isn't that violent. and now explain why he was tortured by the shah and why by this stupid regime? and i don't count sexst ppl who cut ppl's limbs, ppland

  • and what the fuck were the good sides of this stupid unhuman rigime? Dude they're destroying iran to get money that they will give to lebanon and other countries to destry isreal. these dumbasses r giving the persian gulf to the Russians and which this gulf has uzenbruns which have caviar in them. and who was the traitor bastard of the king? I think ur a fucking light headed bastard and my advise to u is o and watch Bahram Moshiri's show on youtube so that u can actually know somthing about iran

  • one of the best 2007 movies..I really impressed.

    Fantastic.movie is full here with english subtitles..

    divxturka(dot)net

  • LOL at 00:30, i heard that name loud and clear rofl.

  • massielur is a child molester!

  • Can someone tell me where to find this movie? I have been looking but can't find a dvd or a theatre that still plays it.

  • where do u live?

  • where do u live?

  • why is there no english trailer? i mean yeah i'd love to know what this movie was about. but fucking give us something in english please.

  • Well... try Wikipedia! :)

  • i loveddd this movieeee

  • Parece muy interesante la pelicula. Alguno de ustedes sabe como se llama y de que banda es el tema que tiene de fondo?

    Suerte... bendiciones

  • Pathetic? Try honest.

    Oppressive governments always fall, often from within.

    Just watch what happens to arrogant Iran.

  • Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooow.

    Here, have this "Stupidest Bastard of 2008." You deserve it so much there is no need to wait any further to give it to you.

    I mean, what the Hell was all that about? You are just a bundle of ignorant hatred. France doesn't even LIKE America.

  • You just want to hate people for the sake of hating them. It- it just boggles the mind how simply retarded you are. Congrats.

    P.S. You attack Frank Miller's work again and I will figure out a way to travel through the internet to personally beat you over the head with Sin City (the book, not the DVD).

  • I'm sorry, did you just insult narrow-minded people by calling them homos?! Do you SEE your own hypocrisy? Not to mention your own homophobia, misogyny, etc. This movie is based on a graphic novel, written by an Iranian woman. Maybe you should actually read it before you blindly judge it.

  • Mehrad11Almelo, They cant make it my freind.

    Iranian are smart they are getting stronger and they found some strategies to resist against the propaganda of USA, France ...

  • This is fantastic! i saw this 2 days ago, and right after i saw it i read the comics. It is amazing!

  • I saw the movie...it was great, i hope that america isn't playing "world police" i hope that the irani's figure it out by themself's that they need to make their own revolution, they would have the force to change something the roots are given (i mean the communist/anarchist roots). Democracy is a political system that fails since it's own creation.

  • ARGH! I wish I could understand french!

  • WOW

  • pls let the america bring freedom and democracy to iran, make more films like that, write more articles about this.. Let them have right! >:

  • The author is from Iran. Next time check your facts before you make an ass of yourself, or others.

  • well technically the're not. it is actually french and only the rich are usualy able to learn languages such as French and english.

    that and she was born there but lives in france now.

  • in iran children learn english at school & a middle-class family can afford to send their children to english/french institutions

  • well why do they do this if the iranian system is so good?

  • that msg was actually a reply to a comment saying that only rich iranians could speak english. i don't know whats wrong w/ youtube:)

    it really had nothing to do w/ iran's educational system.

  • anyone knows where to get subtitles?

  • Go to IMDB and click on more where it says coming soon and scroll down to see it

  • hahahahahahahaha!lol

    i love the way they made the old ladies in the chadors look. they look scary as shit.

    lmao! haha

  • GOEIE FIlM

    good movie

    bon film

  • oh my fucking god this is going to rock

  • this looks really good

  • I would have to find someplace that is showing the movie.

  • i loved the book! i am so excited for this movie!

  • ho visto il film ieri ...bellissimo!!

  • I read this book in 8th grade and I'm so excited to see it as a movie!

    Et c'est en Francais!

  • no es taco

  • I watched the movie yesterday!It's so awesome and beautiful!I'm iranian too and I approve what the movie is portraying!

    It's not anti-iranian!It just shows the difference between a folk and a govermenet!

    This definetly deserved an Oscar!!!!!

  • werd u get the movie?

  • awesomeeeee

  • i saw the movie tonight...is sooooo good..

  • werd u get it?

  • i saw it in the swedish film festivsl

  • Holy Christ, that looks good.

  • cant wait

  • ...

    Enough for what?? o__O

  • there are some parts in the movie that the book does not have, so it's worth it.

  • Audiences generally prefer movies over graphic novels, so the movie is useful, from Satrapi's point of view (the graphic novel wasn't only made for esthetic purposes). Yet personally I prefer the graphic novel too, personnal taste. Its awesome, and I recommend to anyone.

  • Cest film sort ici en Decembre

  • donyaALI -> Actually, they had to create a song that SOUNDED like Iron Maiden. Sorry. This is not an actual Iron Maiden song.

  • Ah man that's so dang cool to see it animated!! The nuns are all creepy moving XD

  • Must see! Gonna watch it in cinema

  • Marjane Satrapi has converted the comic Persepolis in a perfect window to see how was the islamic revolution at Iran.

    Theese was the best comic i ever read.

  • this was the best comic i ever read too..

    and the movie...even better.

  • This looks neat what rating is this movie?

  • Is this movie in french?

  • yeah

  • muy buena

  • Whats the title of the song??

  • very good film.

  • said

  • check out my videos. i know you know it

  • i heard that this film would be the entry of France for Best Foreign Language Film at the Academy Awards next year.

  • so cute. her mother actually knitted her a sweater with holes because "punk was in."

  • Saw the movie yesterday and i cant stop thinking about it. What a beautiful movie. Dont miss it.

  • crum buckets, shoulda payed attention in french class. i knew it'd come back to bite me.

  • dude don't worry, the english version's coming out soon with iggy pop & sean penn as voices!

  • sweet

  • you can also check out marjane satrapi's english-translated graphic novels of the same name that the film is based on. they're so good that i read them straight from start to finish without interruption the first time.

  • Who else chrysotheme?

  • Looks like it's gonna be good.

    Isn't it opening in the US in December?
