It Was Just an Accident (2025) — directed by Jafar Panahi — begins as a minor car breakdown on an isolated Iranian road, but soon spirals into a gripping, morally complex thriller about memory, trauma and justice. Former political prisoners believe the man who stops to help might be their old torturer. Shot without official permission and born from Panahi’s own experience with imprisonment and bans, this film blends dark humour with deep pain, and reminds us that sometimes revenge starts with a simple moment.
