Summary
Jafar Panahi’s film, It Was Just An Accident, has won the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival. The film tells the story of Vahid, who kidnaps a man resembling his former torturer to seek justice. The festival faced a power outage due to a fallen high-voltage line, affecting numerous households, but power was restored in time for the closing ceremony, where the Grand Prix was awarded to Joachim Trier’s Sentimental Value. An investigation into the cause of the outage is ongoing, with possible arson suspected.
