It Was Just An Accident (2025) by Jafar Panahi
TBH, I like to know as little as possible before watching a movie, and I try to handle my recommendations the same way.
It’s about the heavy burden of the past and the toll it takes when it reappears in your life. A society that knowingly or unknowingly reinforces oppressive systems, but with a good balance between the heavy and light moments.
Gondola (2023)
If you ever get the chance to watch this film, you totally should. It’s a lighthearted silent comedy set in a small town in Georgia (the country). It’s just a chill movie to relax and have a good time, and it sneaks in a subtle message about the importance of public infrastructure and community.
Suddenly realizing from my own #Letterboxd that I first watched Wim Wenders’ film The American Friend (1977) LAST YEAR. How does it take up so much space in my head when I have only seen it once? How have I brought it up and talked about it so often when I’ve only known it existed for 16 months?!
If you like 1970s #movies, movies that surprise you, trickster tales or crime films or European trains or the color orange, you owe it to yourself to watch this.
Tom Ripley, an American who deals in forged art, is slighted at an auction in Hamburg by picture framer Jonathan Zimmerman. When Ripley is asked by gangster Raoul Minot to kill a rival, he suggests Zimmerman, and the two, exploiting Zimmerman's terminal illness, coerce him into being a hitman.
I watched this movie last night on a recommendation from several cuties in a comic Discord.
It is so sweet. A lot of representation in here, difficult subjects are touched on gently, the direction is *chef's kiss*, and no-one comes out of the film traumatised.
Soft, cute, beautifully presented.

If any of you like WWII cinema I really recommend One of Our Aircraft is Missing which was released in 1942 and is by Powell and Pressberger.
Obviously it’s a propaganda piece but that doesn’t mean it’s not also a compelling story and a really great watch.
