Iranian filmmaker Jafar Panahi reaffirms his status as one of this century's great cinematic heroes in perhaps his bravest film yet, a tale of revenge and moral choice that won him the Palme d'Or at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival. Ever since he was arrested, imprisoned, and banned from making movies by the Iranian government 15 years ago, Panahi has found ways of producing films in secret and without official permission. Working once again with a courageous cast and crew, he shows both his political risk-taking and confident command of craft in his most explicit attack on his country's repressive regime—a cutting and darkly humorous thriller that concerns a mechanic, Vahid (Vahid Mobasseri), who believes he has met by chance the government intelligence officer, Eghbal (Ebrahim Azizi), who had tortured him while under detainment. As Vahid enlists the services of acquaintances whose lives were also forever altered by Eghbal's cruelties, the thirst for revenge and the sense of danger escalate—as do questions of moral choice and culpability.
