There's not much to say about Persepolis: it is the (animated) film adaptation of Marjane Satrapi's semi-autobiographical comics about life as an Iranian ex-pat (and pre-ex-pat and ex-ex-pat), and it is excellent.
Obviously there is good culture insight on the difference between Tehran and Vienna or Paris, as well as the impact of Western culture on Iranian citizens during and after the Islamic Revolution. Marjane pursues rock, punk, alcohol, and partying as a form of rebellion against the state authority that executed her neighbors and family members; this alienates her in Iran as much as being Iranian alienates her in the West.
