Synopsis

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 iconic filmmaker Jim Jarmusch. By turns 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, the film is divided into three chapters, each concerning the relationship between adult children, their somewhat distant parent (or parents), and each other. Set in rural Northeast America, FATHER sees two adult siblings (Driver, Bialik) spend an awkward afternoon with their reclusive father (Waits), who they are visiting for the first time in years. In MOTHER, a reunion between a successful novelist (Rampling) and her two daughters (Blanchett, Krieps) for their carefully prepared annual tea party in Dublin becomes increasingly revealing and amusing. SISTER BROTHER sees twin siblings (Moore, Sabbat) meet in Paris to seek closure after the recent loss of their parents, making surprising discoveries in the process.

By turns funny, poignant and resonant, Jarmusch’s latest elegantly blends remarkable performances from its ensemble cast with his typically wry and idiosyncratic observations of everyday life, serving as a timely reminder that you can choose your friends and your lovers, but you can’t choose your family.
