a simple accident

Director: Jafar Panahi – Avec Vahid Mobasseri, Mariam Afshari, Ebrahim Azizi – Drama – 2025 – VO ST FR – Duration: 106’ – Iran Iran, present day. A man crosses paths by chance with the one he believes to be his former torturer. But faced with this family man who fiercely denies having been his executioner, doubt sets in. Forbidden from filming in Iran for fifteen years, Jafar Panahi has made his films an act of resistance and has never stopped making films clandestinely. Imprisoned in Evin in 2022 and 2023, he drew on his experience to stage the dilemma of former detainees facing their torturer. "Un Simple Accident", Palme d’Or at Cannes, is a breathless and dizzying thriller where vengeance, humor, and humanity mingle. Tuesday afternoon cinema is much more than just a screening: it is a moment of sharing, escape, and discovery, accessible to all.
