Dir. Jafar Panahi, Iran, 2025, 102 mins. In Persian with English subtitles. Cast. Vahid Mobasseri, Maryam Afshari, Ebrahim Azizi.

A minor traffic accident reunites two men with a shared past. One is set on revenge, but then doubts set in. It Was Just an Accident opens as a languid and at times gently humorous road trip, with the actions of each participant keenly observed as it slowly morphs into something altogether different.

Jafar Panahi’s critically acclaimed and deserving Palme d’Or winner is a muscular thriller and an engaging morality tale for our times.
