On 'Persepolis,' at The Guardian

[Hossein Derakhshan]

Dear friend,

Please check out my latest column for The Guardian's website, on Marjane Satrapi's film, 'Persepolis'.

Good versus evil, again

Persepolis is a black-and-white film which also adopts a very black-and-white view of Iran

Marjane Satrapi's film, Persepolis must have made George Bush and his new ally, Nicolas Sarokzy, quite happy. After all, despite Satrapi's rhetoric against the two leaders, her film's core argument is one that Bush and Sarkozy have long been busy constructing: the evil state versus the wonderful people.

With mehr,
