Ciné Sunday: Father Mother Sister Brother

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, it's 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, with chapters set in New Jersey, Dublin and Paris, each story  concerns the relationships between adult children, their somewhat distant 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.
