What, 95% on Rotten Tomatoes isn't enough for you?
I majored in history, and even though my Middle Eastern history is a bit dusty, I found Persepolis to be a very compelling perspective on the Islamic Revolution and Iran's history in the 70s and 80s. I encourage you all to learn more about Iran's history - for starters, check out the Wikipedia entry. Read it before you watch the movie for a better understanding.
Even if you don't, the characters of Persepolis are very real contrasted with the simple animation. It's dramatic, funny, and heartwarming. And props to the Aquarius, for screening Persepolis and Juno at the same time!
