Winner
of the Golden Lion Best Film prize at the 2025 Venice Film
Festival, FATHER MOTHER SISTER BROTHER is the eagerly-awaited new film
from Jim Jarmusch. Funny, tender and astutely observed, this is an
intimate exploration of the universal intricacies of family dynamics.
Starring Tom Waits, Adam Driver, Mayim Bialik, Charlotte Rampling, Cate
Blanchett, Vicky Krieps, Indya Moore and Luka Sabbat.
Told in the
form of a triptych divided into chapters set in New Jersey, Dublin and
Paris, each story concerns the relationships between adult children,
their somewhat distant parent (or parents), and each other. Blending
remarkable performances from its ensemble cast with Jarmusch’s wry and
idiosyncratic observations of everyday life, the iconic indie director’s
latest serves as a timely reminder that you can choose your friends and
your lovers, but you can’t choose your family.
