Neon has uploaded the official trailer for the Iranian drama It Was Just An Accident [IWJAA]. Written and directed by Jafar Panahi, the film won the Palm d'Or at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival. It Was Just An Accident opens in theaters beginning October 15th.
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.
