We are thrilled to present this year’s Palme d’Or winner from acclaimed Iranian director Jafar Panahi, a brilliant filmmaker who continues to live & make movies in Iran despite being banned from doing so. IT WAS JUST AN ACCIDENT is a powerhouse political thriller and revenge fantasy that’s also, as RogerEbert.com says, “actually surprisingly funny.” Set in contemporary Tehran, the film’s protagonist is an ex-political prisoner who kidnaps a man he suspects is his former prison interrogator – but to be sure, he sets out to confirm the man’s identity through friends and fellow ex-prisoners who have all processed their trauma uniquely. The film is inspired by Panahi’s own imprisonment and psychological torture at the hands of one particularly haunting interrogator, and the result is a nuanced character study that isn’t just a revenge fantasy but an indictment of the injustices that lead us to imagine these retributions in the first place.
