Adapted into a full-length movie in 2007, 'Persepolis' tells the story of Satrapi's personal adversity during the Islamic Revolution in Iran.
PARIS, France — Acclaimed Iranian French cartoonist and filmmaker Marjane Satrapi, a prominent advocate for women's rights and author of “Persepolis,” has died at 56, the French presidency said Thursday.
“Her passing marks the loss of a leading figure of French culture and an artist devoted to freedom, whose work carried a universal message and earned her immense international acclaim,” the French presidency said in a statement.
President Emmanuel Macron and his wife “pay tribute to a remarkable artist who transformed an Iranian childhood into a universal fable,” the statement said.
