Based on her bestselling graphic novels about growing up in 70s Tehran , this is an amusing and distinctive animated film for adults that highlights the serious consequences of totalitarianism. Smart and sassy as its heroine, a natural rebel, whose outspoken ways and love of decadent Western music soon brings her into conflict with the mullahs, much of the film's wry humour and political edge comes from her innocent questioning of the absurd dogma of the joyless regime. Most affecting is her enduring relationship with her eccentric, pipe-smoking grandmother, a pillar of strength who is always ready to listen to her troubles and respond with a joke, some gossip or words of wisdom.

Animeiddiad trawiadol a chyfareddol sy'n dangos sut brofiad oedd tyfu fyny yn Tehran yn y 70au. Mae Satrapi yn ferch i deulu rhyddfrydol ond gyda phethau'n newid yn wleidyddol yn y wlad does dim llawer o obaith y bydd hi'n cael cyflawni eu dyheadau o fewn y gyfundrefn newydd

Winner of the Jury Prize at Cannes Film Festival 2007
