Today, the first trailer has been released for It Was Just An Accident from Jafar Panahi. The winner of the Palme d’Or at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, NEON will be releasing the movie on October 15th, in the heart of awards season. This trailer gives us our first real look at why the jury at Cannes awarded it their top prize, on top of rave critical reviews.
The synopsis for the film is the following:
“Vahid, an unassuming mechanic, has a chance encounter with Eghbal, a man he strongly suspects to be his former sadistic jailhouse captor. Panicked, Vahid gathers several former prisoners, all abused by that same captor, to try and confirm Eghbal’s identity. As the bickering group drives around Tehran with the captive, they must confront how far to take matters into their own hands with their presumed tormentor. From master filmmaker Jafar Panahi comes a searing moral thriller that engages with complex ideas about the uncertainty of the truth and the choice between revenge and mercy, as Panahi turns his personal dissonance into a profound and galvanizing work of art.”
