Laconic, humorous, unusually sad. The new film by Jim Jarmusch
FATHER MOTHER SISTER BROTHER is a feature film carefully composed as a triptych. The three stories revolve around the relationships of adult children to their sometimes distant parents and to each other.
Each of the three chapters is set in the present day, each in a different country: FATHER is set in the north-east of the USA, MOTHER in Dublin and SISTER BROTHER in Paris. It is a series of character studies, calm, observational and non-judgmental - and at the same time a comedy, interwoven with fine threads of melancholy.
In his latest stroke of genius, iconic director Jim Jarmusch lets the top-class cast of Tom Waits, Adam Driver, Mayim Bialik, Charlotte Rampling, Cate Blanchett, Vicky Krieps, Indya Moore and Luka Sabbat explore the depths of family relationships. FATHER MOTHER SISTER BROTHER was awarded the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival.
