US Edition‘Father Mother Sister Brother’ Review: Jim Jarmusch’s Elevated Cringe Comedy Is A Return To His Arthouse Roots – Venice Film Festival
Jim Jarmusch's film depicts complex adult parent-child relationships across America, Dublin, and Paris, highlighting emotional distance and affectionate misunderstandings in three distinct family stories.
- On Sunday, the Venice Film Festival hosted the world premiere of Jim Jarmusch's Father Mother Sister Brother, a three-part film set in the northeast U.S., Dublin, and Paris, which earned a warm five-minute standing ovation.
- Jarmusch said he wrote the project rapidly and asked audiences to view it in one sitting, describing it as an anti-action film made with cinematographers Frederick Elmes and Yorick Le Saux.
- In the `Father` section, siblings Jeff and Emmy visit their father , while `Mother` centers on Charlotte Rampling with daughters Cate Blanchett and Vicky Krieps, and `Sister Brother` follows twins Luka Sabbat and Indya Moore in Paris.
- Asked about Mubi's $100 million Sequoia investment, Jim Jarmusch called much corporate money `dirty money` while joining most cast members on the red carpet, with Vicky Krieps embracing him during applause.
- Jarmusch uses minimalism and dead air to make ordinary silences feel charged, exploring family dynamics through loaded silences and white lies that linger with viewers.
