Father Mother Sister Brother

Directed by Jim Jarmusch
R; 110 minutes

“It’s the kind of dry, deadpan humor [Jim] Jarmusch specializes in, and he’s working with great actors who know how to fill empty spaces with subtle emotional activity.” —Bilge Ebiri, New York Magazine/Vulture

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. The film includes performances by Mayim Bialik, Cate Blanchett, Adam Driver, Charlotte Rampling, and Tom Waits.
