Interview: Jafar Panahi on Making a Statement of Forgiveness Rather Than Revenge with ‘It Was Just an Accident’
There has been no one in cinema making movies like writer-director Jafar Panahi. No literally, no one. Over the course of the last fifteen years, Panahi has been arrested several times by the Iranian government for making critical comments about the political practices within his country. In 2010, he was sentenced to six years in prison, along with receiving a 20-year ban for making any films and travelling outside of Iran.

Surveillance and propaganda reign supreme in the fictional world of “1984”—for which generations have found real-life parallels, again and again. The new film “Orwell: 2+2=5” argues that noting such similarities isn’t enough, writes Shirley Li:
It’s Not Enough to Read Orwell
A new film argues that, in an era of rising authoritarianism, audiences have become too numb to the speculative force of “1984.”

I saw the new George Orwell documentary last night. It’s called 2+2=5. I have been a little bit squeamish about applying the word totalitarian to Trump and the Republicans. Not anymore. We are experiencing a totalitarian movement. There’s no question.

from me -- a profile of Jafar Panahi, a filmmaker whose work has perfectly met our age of surveillance and interrogation and asks the imperative question of: Who are we, and what comes next? IT WAS JUST AN ACCIDENT = masterpiece, imo.
Since his 2010 imprisonment, the director has been in an endless game of chicken with the Iranian regime. In his defiant new film, ‘It Was Just an Accident,’ a group of Iranians consider killing the man who tortured them in prison.
