About It Was Just An Accident
Jafar Panahi returns with another secretly made political thriller from Iran.
Hailed as one of the best films of 2025 and winner of the Palme D'Or at Cannes, the story begins with an apparently ordinary man driving through the night with his wife and daughter. After hitting a dog and damaging his car, he pulls into a service station and arranges a repair. What follows is a mad but tense enterprise to extract revenge for past misdeeds.
In his customary style, Panahi manages to inject humour, pose ethical quandaries, as well as an impressive ending into the escapade. Not to be missed.
