Iranian director Jafar Panahi’s*It Was Just an Accident*(winner of the Palme d’Or at Cannes) is an intense and thought-provoking tale of revenge about a group of people who, by chance, get the opportunity to take revenge on their tormentor. This coincidence sets off an unexpected, and at times even humorous, chain of events. However, the group is not sure if they have the right person in their hands after all. The film’s core delves into an ethical question: can the pursuit of revenge justify resorting to the same methods—kidnapping and torture—that the oppressor himself has used?
