  • BAM Film 2024
Directed by Vincent Paronnaud & Marjane Satrapi (2011)
With Mathieu Amalric, Edouard Baer, Maria de Medeiros

Persepolis co-directors Marjane Satrapi and Vincent Paronnaud make the leap from animation to live action with this expressionistic adaptation of Satrapi's moving graphic novel. In 50s Tehran, Nasser-Ali has devoted his entire life to music. But when his violin is broken beyond repair, the musician embraces death and embarks on a surreal journey through the past and future in this gorgeous, richly-conceived film.
