CANNES PICKS 2025 — IT WAS JUST AN ACCIDENT

Iranian Cinema maverick Jafar Panahi must be doing something right to still be making films that move international audiences, if not transform them by virtue of contact with his understated art.

Cannes has gone corporate, but still has some sand in its Juries.

Winning the Palme d'Or is still a big deal. Congratulations to Jafar Panahi.
