Father Mother Sister Brother

Winner of the Venice Film Festival’s Golden Lion, the newest film from Jim Jarmusch (Stranger Than Paradise, Only Lovers Left Alive) is a delicate portrait of family dynamics. All three stories—set in the present but in different countries—are united by their focus on relationships between adult children and their aging or lost parents.

Siblings Adam Driver and Mayim Bialik check up on their hermetic father (Tom Waits) in New Jersey; sisters Vicky Krieps and Cate Blanchett reunite with their mother (Charlotte Rampling) in Dublin; and twins Indya Moore and Luka Sabbat return to Paris to confront a family tragedy. Jarmusch’s fourteenth feature film eloquently dramatizes the patience and deceptions that bind adult children and their parents, revealing a filmmaker whose empathetic vision continues to mature after more than forty years of extraordinary storytelling. 

“Delicate and lovely, touched by warmth and generosity of spirit. A funny, tender, astutely observed jewel that quietly floors you.” – David Rooney, The Hollywood Reporter
