“I didn’t have very clear ideas about the scarf. I was very religious, but my parents and I were pretty modern and progressive”.
Marjane Satrapi 🙏🏻🤍

Marjane Satrapi, the acclaimed Iranian-French graphic novelist and filmmaker best known for Persepolis and its animated film adaptation, died in Paris on 4 June 2026 at the age of 56. Multiple news outlets, including Reuters, reported that her family said she died “of sadness” a little over a year after the death of her husband, Swedish producer, actor and screenwriter Mattias Ripa.
