یک تصادف ساده (aka It Was Just An Accident) (2025)

When a stranded driver (Ebrahim Azizi) walks into his shop, a mechanic (Vahid Mobasseri) believes he has come face to face with the notoriously brutal prison guard who tortured him during his political imprisonment. He sets out to take justice into his own hands ..... but does he have the right man? Written and directed by Jafar Panahi (NO BEARS). The winner of the Palme d'Or at last year's Cannes film festival and nominated for two Oscars, best screenplay and best international feature. Filmed in secret in Iran, It's a potent film that doesn't hide its political agenda. Although it has the thin veneer of a thriller, it still has the feel of a heavy handed diatribe. Frankly, I thought this type of subject was handled better by Roman Polanski's DEATH AND THE MAIDEN (1994) and that had a single set and only three actors to accomplish the same thing. I don't mean to detract from an excellent movie but it didn't hold me in its grip, it just had a sense of deja vu. With Mariam Afshari, Hadis Pakbaten, Majid Panahi and Mohamad Ali Elyasmehr.
