IT WAS JUST AN ACCIDENT
Directed by Jafar Panahi
2025, Iran, 103 minutes, in Farsi with English Subtitles
Winner of the Palm d’Or at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, and the first film by Jafar Panahi since his most recent imprisonment in Iran, It Was Just An Accident is a moral dilemma of a man who has a random encounter with someone he suspects was his torturer while in prison. To decide what action to take, if any, he contacts others who were tortured, possibly by the same man. What begins as a minor accident sets in motion a series of escalating consequences, and questions are raised about the way that tyrannical rule corrupts a society.
Discussion with the cinematographer, Amin Jafari, via zoom.
