IT WAS JUST AN ACCIDENT
IT WAS JUST AN ACCIDENT is a fearless tour-de-force from cinematic luminary Jafar Panahi. Both urgently political and deeply humane, this new moral classic confronts truth and uncertainty, revenge and mercy, head-on. When auto mechanic Vahid unexpectedly encounters the man who may have been his torturer in prison, he kidnaps him with the intention to exact vengeance. But since the sole clue to Eghbal’s identity is the distinct squeak of his prosthetic leg, Vahid turns to a loose circle of other now-freed victims for confirmation. And the danger only escalates. As they deal with their past and diverging worldviews, the group struggles to decide: Is this him, without a doubt? What would retribution mean, in actuality? Unraveling against the ever-present backdrop of authoritarianism, IT WAS JUST AN ACCIDENT coalesces into a climactic act of resistance by an Iranian auteur who is no stranger to unjust detainment himself. The film is in Farsi and Azerbaijani and presented with English subtitles. <b>Winner of the Palme d’Or at Cannes</b> <b>2 Academy Award nominations</b> <b>1 BAFTA nominations</b> <b>4 Golden Globe nominations</b> ★★★★★ - Independent ★★★★★ - Time Out ★★★★ - GuardianDramaPT1H44M12A2026-03-17Vahid Mobasseri
