It Was Just An Accident @ The Phoenix

An "emotionally explicit film" about "state violence and revenge, about the pain of tyranny that co-exists with ostensible everyday normality. There are macabre stabs of satire, black comedy and horror-farce" (The Guardian). Lots of people have been talking about this so I'm really looking forward to it. It starts at 17:30 and I'll be in the cafe from 16:45 for anyone who wants to grab a drink beforehand.

From the Phoenix website:

A minor traffic accident reunites two men with a shared past. One is set on revenge, but then doubts set in.

Panahi, whose previous films include Taxi Terhan, 3 Faces, No Bears, all of which screened in Studio 74 over the past decade, returns with an unforgettable edge-of-your-seat thriller. As victims of Iran’s regime grow in number and revolts are widely reported, one of the country’s most daring auteurs boldly turns the camera on himself and asks: Should the victims of the state’s crimes seek revenge or show mercy?
