Persepolis to open Leeds International Film Festival.
One of the most talked-about and most acclaimed films of the year, Persepolis is the opening film of Official Selection of the 21st Leeds International Film Festival on 7th November. A unique and highly-entertaining French animation about the coming-of-age of a young Iranian girl during the Islamic Revolution, Persepolis is based on the autobiographical graphic novel by Marjane Satrapi who also co-directs the film. There is also a special extra screening of Persepolis in the spectacular setting of Leeds Town Hall on Saturday 10th November. 'Persepolis never loses its rapturous hold on the viewer' – TIME
