YONKERS FILM: Persepolis Is Screening In The City Of Hills

In 1970s Iran, Marjane 'Marji' Statrapi watches events through her young eyes and her idealistic family of a long dream being fulfilled of the hated Shah's defeat in the Iranian Revolution of 1979.

However, as Marji grows up, she witnesses first hand how the new Iran, now ruled by Islamic fundamentalists, has become a repressive tyranny on its own.

With a 96 percent critical approval rating and an audience score of 94 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, "Persepolis" is a must-see.

The site's critical consensus indicates that, "'Persepolis' is an emotionally powerful, dramatically enthralling autobiographical gem, and the film's simple black-and-white images are effective and bold."

Get a piece of the film art experience at the Alamo Drafthouse Yonkers (2548 Central Park Ave.) through Tuesday, Jan. 29th
