The interesting thing about this bit is it seems like a random aside at first, until the end when the mom who is pathologically obsessed with security for her son is the CEO of a security/surveillance company. In that context, its contemporary political salience comes to light.

I'm still reeling from IT WAS JUST AN ACCIDENT, Panahi's queasy thriller about how authoritarianism dehumanizes not only through horrible living conditions, but by pushing the persecuted to be the worst versions of themselves in pursuit of something like justice.

back in 2016, i interviewed Stewart and Olivier Assayas, and she talked about her dream of being a director www.esquire.com/entertainmen...
![Stewart: I've wanted to [direct] my whole life. I started acting because I wanted to direct, and I was 10 years old, so that wasn't going to happen then. I just made a short film. I just finished it. I like the idea that you can have a thought process that keeps you up at night, but if you have a bunch of other people to help, you really think about something so fucking indulgently for so long and make something, that's what art allows people to do. To externalize something incredibly internal is so satisfying. That's also a huge responsibility, it's very fucking presumptuous to be like, "alright everyone, let's get together and do this thing." It's really expensive. It's a really elitist fucking medium.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:guthikarwozoldkzhueivkl6/bafkreiejy4hjbogscocjvruzygkls3ihndaeza3lacl2dtzyhj6fxliali@jpeg)
