Regarded as one of master filmmaker Joseph Losey’s most important works and winner of the Grand Prix at Cannes, Accident opens with a car crash and uses flashbacks to trace the relationships that led to it. Centred on Oxford professor Stephen’s love for his student Anna, the film has become a classic through its slowly mounting tension amid repressed sexuality, vanity and rivalry, its editing that makes masterful use of silence, and its powerful performances.
