This film is based on the autobiographical novel of Marjane Satrapi, an Iranian
living in France. The heroin is Marji, whose life is affected by the
Iranian Revolution,
leaves her country to study abroad, and returns home. It describes how Marji
grows up in the socio-religious context of the Iranian Revolution with
the highly
stylized black-and-white animation.
On the other hand, this film is restricted to be shown in both Iran and Lebanon
on account that its message is anti-Islamic. Not only in Iran, some Iraninan
intellectuals in the US also criticize the director Marjane Satrapi
for her seemingly
anti-Iranian Revolutionary position. This is the film for thoughts on
the activities of
overseas intellectuals and their positions. We will invite Prof.
Fujimoto Yuko,
a specialist on Iranian contemporary literature at Osaka University to
share us her views.
