Such an intense watch in the way of a slow simmer. Expertly crafted.
saw this last year but rewatching it all over again, and it's a lot better the second time around. maybe it's true that it's easier to find humor in tragedy for those people who lived through it. and i think that's why japar panahi knows how to balance this movie, he showed the painful experience of each characters while making the script funny at the same time. what stayed with me, is the kindness of the main character. panahi, showed to us that for some people kindness can be innate even though they've been through so much pain and suffering they would never forget how to be kind or compassionate—that's just who they are.
You’ll never experience a squeaky prosthetic leg the same way again.
it was just a movie
Ganhador da Palma de Ouro no Festival de Cinema de Cannes de 2025, Jafar Panahi fez esse filme escondido do governo autoritário do Irã, que poderia colocar sua própria vida em risco. Em 'Foi Apenas um Acidente', Panahi faz questão de deixar o espectador aflito nas cenas, será que realmente é o torturador? O que vão fazer com ele? O que aconteceu no final? Algumas dessas dúvidas são deixadas para o próprio espectador pensar.
Speechless!!!! INCREDIBLE MASTERPIECE BY JAFAR PANAHI. I have no words to put it properly after last 15-20 minutes of pure brilliance as if the rest of the film wasn’t already brilliant. WOW!!!! There’s something about Jafar or other Iranian greats - Their films aren’t just films but an encyclopaedia on how to write hard hitting drama films. They manage to blow my mind almost always. Last shot is one of the best examples of how to manufacture a feeling for viewers that they would never have felt if it was shot generically. SPECTACULAR.
Są tu takie fragmenty, kiedy film wjeżdża na pełne obroty i chłonę wszystko jak gąbka wodę. Ale są też dłuższe zastoje, kiedy resztki kofeiny w moim organiźmie walczą zaciekle, żebym dobrnął resztkami sił do końca seansu. No i bezcelowość zemsty widziałem już w formie arcydzieła w innym medium - grze The Last of Us, więc główna pointa tego filmu nie rusza mnie aż tak bardzo jak by mogła. Za to Panahi rozumie się z kamerą jak ze starym przyjacielem i serwuje jeden z najlepszych reżyserskich pokazów 2025 roku, niezwykle zgrabnie łącząc niemal dokumentalną surowość z częstymi cięciami i zmianami położenia kamery.
