Kijkwijzer
In loving memory of Marjane Satrapi, Lumen brings Persepolis back to the big screen. The Franco-Iranian artist, writer and filmmaker Marjane Satrapi passed away in France in early June 2026 at the age of 56. Satrapi gained worldwide recognition with her graphic novel Persepolis and its acclaimed animated film adaptation, which she co-directed.
The modern classic Persepolis remains a powerful and deeply personal coming-of-age story about identity, resilience and freedom during the Iranian Revolution. With its striking black-and-white animation, sharp humour and enduring relevance, the film continues to resonate as a moving reflection on oppression, solidarity and the strength of individual voices.
