Episode 461: It Was Just an Accident

Josh is joined by Ben Luben to finish The Rewind's coverage of 2025 releases as they talk all about the Iranian Best International Feature Oscar Nominee, "It Was Just an Accident." They discuss how it compares to the rest of writer/director Jafar Panahi's body of work including how it approached shooting covertly, the film's message about living under a totalitarian regime, the surprisingly humorous moments the film creates despite dark subject matter, how it effectively utilized several characters without having the time to develop each in great detail and much more! Please note this was recorded before America's war with Iran had begun, so commentary on specific current events is largely limited.
