The majority of Jafar Panahi<\/a>\u2019s movies have been made illegally, under the radar, and in secret away from the eyes of the Iranian government, if not banned in his home country altogether. They\u2019re not exactly meant to be box office smashes. But the international audience Panahi has managed to cultivate over the years has been respectable, consistently showing up both in the U.S. and overseas, even as Panahi\u2019s films have grown more meta and experimental because of the circumstances of how he\u2019s been forced to make them,<\/p>\n

His latest film, however, the Palme d\u2019Or winner \u201cIt Was Just an Accident<\/a>,\u201d is Panahi\u2019s most narrative-driven feature and most commercial feature in years. And after an impressive opening weekend in just three theaters, U.S. distributor Neon<\/a> has hopes for it that would eclipse anything Panahi has released in his career.<\/p>\n
