- Abstract：
This film is based on the autobiographical novel of Marjane Satrapi, an
Iranian living in France. The heroin is Marji, whose life is affected by
the Iranian Revolution, leaves her country to study abroad, and returns
home. It describes how Marji grows up in the socio-religious context of
the Iranian Revolution with the highly stylized black-and-white animation.
On the other hand, this film is restricted to be shown in both Iran and
Lebanon on account that its message is anti-Islamic. Not only in Iran,
some Iraninan intellectuals in the US also criticize the director Marjane
Satrapi for her seemingly anti-Iranian Revolutionary position. This is
the film for thoughts on the activities of overseas intellectuals and their
positions.
- We will invite Prof. Fujimoto Yuko, a specialist on Iranian contemporary
literature at Osaka University to share us her views.
