About BFI LFF 2025: It Was Just An Accident
A minor traffic accident reunites two men with a shared past. One is set on revenge, but then doubts set in. Panahi (Crimson Gold, 3 Faces, No Bears) opens his film as a languid and at times gently humorous road trip, with the actions of each participant keenly observed. However, it is also a critique of the enduring legacy of a regime on its people and the chilling consequences for those who oppose it.
Presented as part of the 69th BFI London Film Festival in partnership with American Express.
Priority booking for Supporters' Circle members will open on 10 September 2025 at 10am. General Admission tickets will go on sale on 16 September 2025 at 10am.
