Coinciding with its world premiere this weekend at the Venice Film Festival, MUBI has released the first trailer writer-director Jim Jarmusch’s comedy drama Father Mother Sister Brother.
The film tells the intertwined stories of two estranged siblings, a mother and a father as they are forced to confront and reevaluate their strained relationships after years of living completely separate lives.
The cast includes Tom Waits, Adam Driver, Mayim Bialik, Charlotte Rampling, Cate Blanchett, Vicky Krieps, Sarah Greene, Indya Moore, Luka Sabbat, and Françoise Lebrun. Watch the trailer below…
“Father Mother Sister Brother is a feature film, though carefully constructed in the form of a triptych. The three stories all concern the relationships between adult children, their somewhat distant parent (or parents), and each other. Each of the three chapters takes place in the present, and each in a different country. FATHER is set in the Northeast US, MOTHER in Dublin, Ireland, and SISTER BROTHER in Paris, France. The film is a series of character studies, quiet, observational and non-judgmental – a comedy, but interwoven with threads of melancholy.”
Father Mother Sister Brother arrives in cinemas on December 24th.
