Iranian dissident filmmaker Jafar Panahi wins the Palme d'Or for 'It Was Just an Accident'
The revenge thriller was inspired by Panahi's own experience in prison. For more than a decade, the director made films clandestinely in his native country. The Grand Prix, or second place, went to Joachim Trier's family drama 'Sentimental Value.'
