In “Chicken with Plums,” codirectors Marjane Satrapi and Vincent Parronaud magically translate a graphic novel by the former to the big screen. Set in Tehran in 1958, the film is mostly live action, but the flesh-and-blood actors—including a heartbreaking Mathieu Amalric as Nasser-Ali Khan, a gifted violinist so miserable that he wills himself to die—appear before wondrously hyper-stylized sets, a mise-en-scène that imbues Chicken with Plums with the power of a parable.
