Why Did You Destroy Our Lives?
Review written by Jack Aling
It Was Just an Accident is directed by Jafar Panahi and written by Jafar Panahi.
An unassuming mechanic is reminded of his time in an Iranian prison when he encounters a man he suspects to be his sadistic jailhouse captor. He gathers other former prisoners to confirm the man's identity as they drive around Tehran with their captive.
Meticulously crafted paranoia disguised as a dark comedy. Jafar Panahi keeps you asking questions until delivering a devastating third act and a haunting final shot. Masterfully done.
